The YMCA Early Learning Centre offers licensed, full-time child care for toddlers (18 months to 3 years) and pre-schoolers (3 to 5 years).

Early Child Care

Featuring our YMCA Playing to Learn curriculum, our licensed child care centre provides high-quality care for your children in a stimulating environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. We know you can't always be with your child — and that's why we are here for you.

Located at the Frank Rudderham Family YMCA, the Early Learning Centre (ELC) provides full-time child care for families in our licensed program Monday through Friday. Through the Nova Scotia Education and Early Childhood Development and our own YMCA Opportunity Fund, you may be eligible for funding.

Our child care programs are also supported by the Department of Community Service.
