About Mid-Valley YMCA Branch

Mid-Valley YMCA Branch is a center-based child care and early education facility serving the students and families of Los Angeles! As a center, Mid-Valley YMCA Branch provides a school-like learning and enrichment environment that gives students a taste of what they’ll experience at more formal school in the years to come. Students at Mid-Valley YMCA Branch are provided the socialization opportunities that come with peers of similar ages, the enrichment opportunities that come with a center’s resources and structure, and the community that comes with experienced staff. With a full-time schedule, Mid-Valley YMCA Branch further provides what parents want in care and education. Full-time care allows students to get the best of a real community outside of the home - chock full of learning, laughter, play and fun - with the strength of a structured program and structured day that’ll benefit them down the road. Parents get the time they need to work while watching their children grow leaps and bounds in language and cognitive development. Mid-Valley YMCA Branch likewise takes a play-based approach to children's development and learning, facilitating education through interactive, hands-on activities that get children moving. Play-based environments structure their spaces to encourage students to move with independence, passion and explore at their own direction. Staff in these environments encourage and galvanize students to lean into their interests and build their own worlds in cooperation with their peers, and students gain cooperative, social and emotional skills as a result of this community.
