What we provide

  • Trained Staff

    Lifelong Dayton resident Tabitha Elkins Haney is the YWCA childcare program director. She is a Washington State University grad and worked as a certified substitute elementary school teacher till she went back to her first love, early learning. Tabitha has worked with children ages 1 to 6 for 20 years and has been a childcare director for 10 years. 
    We have lead teachers for the Toddler and Preschool rooms and lots of teachers’ aides to help. All staff have a high school degree or equivalency.

  • Meals

    We provide breakfast, lunch, a morning snack, and an afternoon snack. Meals follow USDA nutrition guidelines, and an onsite cook prepares healthy, kid-friendly options daily.

  • Curriculum

    We are excited to be using Creative Curriculum and its assessment module, Teaching Strategies Gold.  It is an incredible tool.  Our teachers can choose from a variety of subjects and develop a daily work plan, and the assessment module allows us to deliver specialized learning where kids may need a little help.
