Infant and Toddler Care

Choosing a child care provider is a big decision—you want your baby or toddler to be nurtured and cared for as well as you would do yourself. Our child care programs offer environments that are safe and stimulating, and caring, supportive infant and toddler educators who understand what makes your child special.

Children are provided with vital learning opportunities, following the YMCA Playing to Learn curriculum, which helps children discover learning through creative play.

We know that kids need much more than just immediate family to grow up strong—our programs support families and provide young children with the care and support they need to reach their full potential.

Our Infant and Toddler program follows a child to staff ratio of 1:4. Babies are provided with individual, customized schedules for feeding and napping. Children spend time outside each day and are provided with healthy snacks.

YMCA Infant and Toddler care is currently offered at Little Scholars Child Care, Kelowna Secondary School and Queen's Park Multi-Age Child Care.
