The Meriden YMCA Early Learning Center seeks to serve the community by providing a proven, safe, learning environment. Within the classroom we make it possible for teachers to teach and children to learn. Providing quality supervision outside of the home for all children we can assure that these children are adequately prepared for preschool and beyond.
This state of the art childcare center creates a comfortable, secure environment which allows for children to develop his or her sense of self-esteem, sense of belonging, and a sense of accomplishment.
