YMCA Of Metro Denver @ Palmer Elementary welcomes the students and families of Denver to its center-based early child care and education facility. As a center, YMCA Of Metro Denver @ Palmer Elementary resembles the best of what students will get in the years ahead in structured schooling while maintaining the close community and relationships that’re instrumental in early childhood development. Attending a center benefits students as students will spend their days in a structured, stable environment that hones spatial, vocabulary and other skills with enriching curriculums and activities. Parents in the Denver area can by the same token find a great fit with the part-time schedule at YMCA Of Metro Denver @ Palmer Elementary. Part-time gives children the opportunity to learn in a structured environment, out of the family home, with their peers and non-family adults, all the while parents can get things done. Part-time gives that flexibility, though, that families can crave when adjusting little ones to life outside the home, as parents don’t have to spend full days away from their young children. Additionally, YMCA Of Metro Denver @ Palmer Elementary takes an arts-based educational approach, giving students exposure to the visual arts, music, movement and storytelling. Arts-based educational approaches value the process of creation over the end product and focus on building student confidence through the emotional satisfaction that comes with creating something personal. Through hands-on experience in a variety of mediums and exploration with peers and staff, students gain a unique blend of emotional, intellectual, creative and motor skills.
