Success Starts Early

When you’re looking for care, the Y is there! The Crown Family Y’s Early Learning Demonstration Center (ELDC) promotes laughter, language, critical thinking, and more for children from birth to age 5. By creating an environment of joy, we set the stage for infinite educational possibilities!

Trusting Relationships, Hands-On Care & Fun

Our process ensures our youngest community members form secure, trusting relationships with their caregivers and teachers. Upon enrollment, each youth is assigned a primary caregiver or teacher, who remains with the youth until they transition to the next developmental stage and primary class grouping. Our programs are designed to provide hands-on, nurturing relationships with well-trained professionals. Through these connections, youth learn, move, and have fun!
