Broadway Stages has long supported the Greenpoint YMCA and its programs to help children develop in a safe environment. We recently posted about the Y’s Holiday Camps. But did you know about their Early Childhood Center that offers Early Learning Separation Enrichment Classes for children under two and the Early Childhood Program for children ages two to four? These programs help build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.

These programs take a holistic approach to promoting growth and development, which ultimately helps prepare children for a school environment. The program is a gateway to preschool to give each child a positive first school experience. Using an engaging, interactive learning method, children are authentically motivated to learn. The program focuses on the social-emotional, cognitive, and physical development of each child as an individual and with a group.

The Y offers three or four weekly classes — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays or Mondays - Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. daily. Sessions are eight weeks long. The program runs on the NYC Board of Education calendar and is drop-off only.

The Greenpoint YMCA offers a robust curriculum and flexible schedules structured to meet your family’s needs and provide a safe space for your family to grow and play together. Broadway Stages knows how vital this resource is to our community. That is why our President and CEO, Gina Argento, serves on their board and why we actively provide financial support as an investment in our community.
