HHS Child Care
The Huntington High YMCA Child Care Program mission is to help children develop to their fullest potential focusing on self awareness, confidence, feeling of self worth through a variety of programs.
The teachers will work on the development of interpersonal relationships while exploring with the children their feelings and how to do develop conflict resolution skills. The Child Care Program works with each child on the development of values that are the core of the YMCA and each participant in our programs (honesty, respect, responsibility and caring).
These skills are taught through discussion, interaction, and the programs they participate in each day.
The YMCA Child Care Program helps each child in our program develop physical skills through teaching, coaching, and drills encompassing a variety of activities. In conjunction with the physical component, the Child Care Program also works with the children to develop healthy lifestyles through proper nutrition and physical activity.
This is accomplished by having cooking projects, reviewing the food guide pyramid, having nutritional discussions at meal and snack time, and through daily physical activities that emphasis lifetime exercises and sports.
The Pre-School and Child Care Program have educational components to help each child develop their skills in reading, writing, and math. The school age After School Program has time scheduled for each child to do their homework with assistance from our teachers.
This program is provided to allow parents more time to spend with their child communicating and interacting at home knowing their homework has been thoroughly covered.
