About the Provider

Description: Program: The Y focuses on a play-based approach known as Emergent Curriculum. Learning experiences and projects are guided by the teacher based on childrens interests, incorporating a multi-sensory and hands-on approach. Children learn by using all of their senses to explore and develop an increased ability to think, reason, question, and experiment. We place an emphasis on building social competency skills in an environment rich in language development. Our classrooms are set up to provide children with a variety of activity and play centers. These may include art, sand/water play, blocks, dramatic play, manipulatives, science, writing center, and early literacy. Additionally, our curriculum provides opportunities for experiences with music, movement, cooking, math, social studies, field trips and other enrichment opportunities. We follow the guidelines set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the Vermont Early Learning Standards (VELS). All Y Youth Development programs strive to teach children in an inclusive environment. This includes the physical environment, behaviors, and attitudes of our staff. Classrooms will provide children with non-stereotyped books, dolls, and learning opportunities that reflect a variety of people of different ages, abilities, genders, ethnicity, etc. Curriculum plans may include traditions of the children enrolled in the program, other traditions, foods from different cultures. We will engage in spontaneous and intentional conversations about peoples differences and similarities. These conversations will include the concepts of respecting differences, recognizing unfairness, and speaking up for others.
