In all of our programs, Infant/Toddler, Preschool, and School Age, children have plenty of materials and equipment to exercise their developing muscles and inquiring minds. The staff is well trained in the developmental needs of the children and our assessment system assists the teachers in supporting the strengths of the individual child as they explore and learn new skills.
In addition, Heritage Park makes available to our older children enrichment opportunities such as swimming, dance, and other similar activities as interests develop. During school vacation weeks, children are engaged in a variety of experiences that include field trips or presentations by skilled artisans. During the summer months Heritage Park offers a day camp program rich in activities that foster each child's imagination. Each week is enhanced by the inclusion of field trips or presentations that are connected to a weekly theme. Families who have memberships at Heritage Park have privileges at the Pawtucket Family YMCA.
The Heritage Park YMCA fosters community and family engagement and welcomes everyone to come together to celebrate the change of seasons and accomplishments by attending one of our Family Nights and our Pre-School Graduation.
