Early Childhood / Early Learning Readiness (ELR)

Learn and Grow Together

Before your little ones walk into a classroom, you are their first teacher. This Caregiver & Child class provides a safe and fun place to play, explore, and learn through songs, stories, and family activities with your children.

What to Expect

Give your early learner the best start for kindergarten and beyond. ELR is a safe place to help young minds ages 0-5 learn and grow, while the adult caregiver also builds their skills as their child’s first teacher.

Meeting twice weekly, together you’ll learn fun activities, have access to free tools and resources to take home, and monthly you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your learning and connection through field trips, themed events, and special guests

How To Register

You don’t need to bring any documentation. Just stop by a participating Y, and our membership team will be happy to get you signed up. Membership is not required.

This program is provided to the community, free of charge, thanks to the generosity of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and The David & Lucile Packard Foundation.
