YMCA NEW BEGINNINGS CHILD CARE CENTER
YMCA New Beginnings’ primary goal is to provide a quality service by meeting the developmental needs of young children and support the needs of their parents. We are a NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accredited program. Clermont YMCA New Beginnings is committed to providing the highest quality of child care by providing successful, developmentally age appropriate activities. We are able to extend activities to include recreational gym, recreational swimming and swimming lessons.

We provide a nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack each day. Our diverse programs offer Infant, Toddler, Pre-School, and Pre-Kindergarten care year-round, five days a week, from 6:30am to 6:30pm. We also offer Kindergarten enrichment during the public school year and full time summer care for Kindergarten children 5 & 6 years of age.

• Infant Care
  Ages 6 weeks to 18 months
  Infants are natural learners. We will follow your baby’s individual rhythms for feeding, sleeping and playful interaction, to mirror your patterns at home. Your baby is one of a kind. We understand about separation anxiety-yours and your infants’. Let us help put your mind at ease. We will stay in close touch with you to help make the transition as easy as possible. We keep individual daily records for good communication between our caregivers and parents.
  
  5 days: $160
  

• Toddlers
  Ages 18 months to 3 years
  Toddlers need warmth, nurturing, and safe spaces to experience with a watchful eye over them. Our toddler teachers have unlimited energy, lots of patience, and abounding creativity. We set the stage for the toddler’s need to practice becoming independent, for learning to interact appropriately with other children and to allow for gross motor development.
  
  5 days: $140
  4 days: $130

• Pre-School/Pre-Kindergarten
  Ages 3 to 5 years
  Pre-school children are happy, inquisitive, enthusiastic and generally excited about everything. They are more social: taking turns, developing friendships and enjoying fantasy. Our teachers offer activities to stimulate creativity and promote imagination through a wide variety of activities, including songs, finger plays and listening to stories. They have constant opportunities to stretch their intellectual, social and emotional development.
