The YMCA of Greater Hartford uses the Early Learning Development Standards (ELDS) for infant, toddler and preschool children by the Connecticut Department of Education. These standards align with the Common Core, preparing children for kindergarten and life. In addition to meeting ELDS expectations, we also collaborate with many local and state organizations to offer the highest quality enrichment experience for your child.
Infant, toddler and preschool programs at the YMCA of Greater Hartford are accredited through NAEYC, the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
