Child Development
Where our community’s kids learn, grow, and thrive
The Tom Hargrove & Anita Grover, MD Child Development Center at the New Canaan YMCA supports our community’s families through child-care programs for children ages 6 weeks through sixth grade.
Â
Each of our child-care programs works to develop the whole child: socially, cognitively, emotionally, and physically, and to provide children with the opportunity to learn and grow, while taking advantage of all our Y has to offer. Our qualified staff provides an engaging, nurturing, and supportive environment for each of our children and families.
