About the Ticonderoga Community Early Learning Center

At the YMCA, we understand that each child develops at their own rate and in their own unique way. We are committed to providing your child with a program that not only meets the developmental needs of their age group, but a program that meets the needs of your child as an individual.

Each child’s individuality is respected, and children are encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings as they try new things, grow, and experience the world around them.

“We love the Ti Early Learning Center! Mrs. Bush, Sam and Meg are so great with our son and all the kids! They plan fun learning activities and we love having the daily updates. We feel like they are our second family and wish they had options for our older kids too because they never want to leave at drop off.”
