Infant Program

6 weeks to 18 months

In our Infant Care rooms, which are set up to build trust, encourage physical development and instill confidence, children are guided through their developmental milestones in a safe, nurturing environment. Each infant is assigned a Primary Caregiver who partners with parents to provide consistent care and is committed to the child thriving in every aspect of their development. Primary Caregivers play a key role in the child’s transition to our Waddler program.

We are especially proud of our nurturing teachers who create awareness of and foster interest and enjoyment of new, stimulating objects, people, age-appropriate outdoor play spaces, and experiences, including music enrichment. We also schedule small group activities each day so infants are engaged in one-on-one activities that help us continually assess the children’s emerging skills.

Please note, due to the New Jersey Department of Children and Families Office of Licensing and Department of Health’s Covid-related mandates The Learning Circle YMCA’s hours of operation, fees and program offerings may be subject to change. Rest assured, keeping your child safe remains our #1 priority. For the most up to date information regarding our participation and safety policies, contact us directly to speak with the Program Director.

BERKELEY HEIGHTS YMCA | SUMMIT YMCA | THE LEARNING CIRCLE YMCA

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men’s Christian Association, but today, we are The Y; an association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.

Each year, as one of the area’s leading 501(c)3 charitable organizations, the Summit Area YMCA serves more than 15,000 individuals with our free and fee-based programs and services in an area spanning the New Jersey communities of Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Millburn, New Providence, Short Hills, Springfield, Stirling and Summit. Our history is rooted in working side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Through the generosity of our members, donors, and partners, we are able to offer financial assistance for our programs and services to those in need.
