You’re entrusting us to care for the most important person in your life. We believe that during a child’s formative years, nothing is more important than experiencing a wide variety of enriching activities in a warm, safe and loving environment. Our state licensed childcare program has been carefully designed to provide your child with the best possible learning opportunities. We are committed to developing each individual child’s physical, social, intellectual and emotional growth.
“What can I say for the YMCA infant room that it doesn’t say for itself? For starters, every teacher, up to and including the director of the Freehold Family YMCA, treat each child as if they were one of their own. When I enrolled my daughter, Charlotte, into the Y (as a first time mom) I was nervous and equally heartbroken that I would “miss” so much time with my baby being in daycare. Notwithstanding the fact that every mother / parent has this same concern enrolling their first child in school, my concerns were unfounded. I not only received regular updates from the infant room on Dojo about her progress, i received and still continue to receive the most adorable of photos from her teachers – the first of which I received before even LEAVING the parking lot of the Y on her VERY FIRST day of school which clearly demonstrates the level of empathy and love they have for the children and their families. My mind was eased almost immediately. If anyone were to advise that they were considering daycares – i would immediately direct them to Freehold Family YMCA. Nothing but 5++ stars for all the faculty. WE LOVE YOU!!” – Janine DeLucia
