Childcare - Y Early Learning Center
Y EARLY LEARNING CENTER for Infants through Preschool & Beyond
We are excited to announce that the Family YMCA at Tarrytown's Early Learning Center will be moving to its permanent home in Winter 2023 at the Tarrytown Station Center. This new space will offer a bright, brand-new childcare center with convenient access to the Tarrytown Metro North Station and ample parking. The Y ELC will be accessible to many who love to walk from both Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.
In the interim, we are temporarily located in Sleepy Hollow NY at Holy Cross Hall (130 Beekman Avenue) for infants and toddlers. School-age programs are in the TUFSD at Morse and WI and the Todd School in Briarcliff. The Y Early Learning Center offers a warm nurturing environment with flexible scheduling and dedicated, loving staff.
Please contact Mary Saad at marys@ymcatarrytown.org Childcare Director (infants through preschool) or Diane McCarthy School Age Director at dianem@ymcatarrytown.org to discuss your childcare needs.
The Y Early Learning Center is designed to provide stimulating early learning experiences, including academic, cognitive, fine and gross motor, physical fitness, social and emotional development. The center operates from 7:30 AM – 6:30 PM, Monday through Friday, September through August. Our center consists of full-time classrooms for infants, toddlers, and preschool students.
