 years
Location: 1340 Martine Avenue

At the Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA, we provide a nurturing, engaging environment for children ages 3 months to 5 years to learn, grow and thrive. Our dedicated Educational Child Care staff keep our students’ health and safety at the forefront of everything they do, while ensuring they build the social and academic skills needed to succeed in Child Care and beyond.

Registration for new families interested in enrolling in the upcoming 2024-2025 school year will begin March 12 at 9:00am.  To learn more about our Child Care program, take a tour or for any questions, please contact Diane Romond at dromond@fspymca.org.

Our 12-month program, licensed by the state of New Jersey, operates Monday – Friday, from 7:00am to 6:30pm during the school year.

Enrichment classes will be offered to all students (toddlers through PreK), and are included in monthly tuition fees. Each week, the children will take part in: literature from story time, fine arts with music & art classes, physical education that develops their gross motor skills, and science lessons that help them explore the world around them. Plus, swimming lessons are included for our 3s and 4s classes. Weather permitting, outdoor play gives your child fresh-air daily. During inclement weather, our Community Room gives the children plenty of room to exercise. We teach the children healthy habits with daily exercise and offer healthy snacks twice a day, along with milk & bottled water for lunch/snack time. In keeping with the Y’s goals, we encourage character development through caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
