Learning Centers
At the Odessa YMCA, we provide all day and after school care for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. We pick-up from most area schools.
The Odessa YMCA teaches a curriculum titled Discover, Inspire and Grow (DIG) from the Texas School Ready program. With Pre-K expectations on the rise, Pre-K teachers are challenged to cover all the necessary skills in each pre-school day. That's why today's Pre-K teachers love the curriculum options that come with the DIG family of solutions! From a comprehensive curriculum to a variety of targeted supplemental kits, DIG helps all Pre-K teachers focus on what matters most- their students.
Not only are the learning centers focused on preparing our three to five-year-olds for school, but we have also adapted our curriculum for our younger learners. Even our precious 6 month babies are absorbing and learning. At your Odessa Family YMCA, we provide both you and your child with the perfect tools and resources to be prepared for school.
Not only does the Odessa YMCA believe in getting our children school-ready, but we value their spiritual and physical health as well. Bible studies are incorporated into our lesson plans. Children at our learning centers have access to and regularly visit our pool, park, and gymnasium. Your child will also be able to engage in sports on our Nintendo Wii Fitness.
