Our state licensed center began in 1978 as Metuchen Edison Community Daycare. In 1992, Centenary Early Learning Center became a YMCA Child Care Program. We are proud to say that we received our NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accreditation in 2005 and were re-accreditated in 2011. In Y child care programs, every child is treated as an individual, learning through hands on activities in an age appropriate environment. We provide opportunities for self expression through social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language development, while stimulating young minds to bring greater understanding, awareness and curiosity. Our center utilizes Creative Curriculum to create purposeful and productive experiences that help children grow in all areas of development and the CATCH program to incorporate healthy habits of physical fitness and good nutritional choices, as part of our programs.
