Ages: 2.9-3.5 Years

The Ducklings

The three-year-old classroom is where many start their Young World journey. This classroom is where children discover their independence. The teachers encourage self-help skills: such as dressing themselves for outside, taking care of their belongings, and toileting. They begin to learn songs sung during calendar and morning meetings; they are sung in every classroom throughout the center.

Ages: 3.4-4 Years

The Cubs

In this classroom, students will have the opportunity to learn through various learning centers and hands-on experiences. The curriculum is designed and geared towards the emotional and social interactions of the children. The emphasis of our daily activities and our overall objectives is on learning rather than teaching.

Ages: 3.11-5

The Sweet Peas

The Sweet Pea classroom is where the children will begin getting prepared for Kindergarten. The children will be able to observe and use appropriate ways of interacting in a group. There are a wide array of learning games for the children to work on independently or cooperatively with their peers in this classroom.  

Ages: 4.4-6 Years

The Acorn’s

In the Acorn’s classroom, the environment is set up with a more complex, structured schedule that still includes playtime and reflects and prepares a child for what they will encounter when attending Kindergarten. The children in this classroom will continue building on the foundational skills they began working on in other classrooms.

School-Age Program Ending

After 30 years, we have decided to close the Before and After School Age Program.   When the Mountain View Elementary School opened, we expected challenges around transportation and scheduling. When walking to school became impossible, we knew bussing would be a hurdle to overcome because transportation would be out of our control, not to mention an added cost for many families(charging families for using the bus).

This has decreased our enrollment, which we can no longer endure.

 Our Last day of our School Age Program will be June 15th, 2024.

This classroom will be used as another Early Education and Care Classroom.

I am so grateful to the caring and fabulous staff at Young World for getting to know and nurturing my 3 children. The teachers here take time to meet each children at their own developmental level and then help them grow. Thank you, Young World!

“Young World was our incredible village for both our girls as they attended pre-school and afterschool programs! We loved their personal approach to get to know the unique qualities of our kids, what communication styles worked best for us, and always greeted us as part of the family! We cherished our extended family at Young World and knew that our kids always felt safe, cared for, and excited to learn, grow, and play. Most importantly, we relied on their everyday updates and genuine check-ins as part of our normal routine. I would recommend any family to Young World! Our girls even hope to help out when they get older!”

Lizzie and Lauren

We came to Young World in the height of a pandemic frantically looking for a new place for our then 3 year old to have full time care. We are so glad that we found Young World! Jess and all of the staff are always very communicative with us and willing to answer any questions we have and make any adjustments we need in caring for our child. Through pandemic protocols and beyond they value safety and we are never worried about the level of care and supervision our child is getting. We are an LGBTQ family and love that everyone at Young World is respectful and inclusive of us and our kids. Our child adores all of the staff here and especially the director Jess and her recent teacher Kerry. Our child also has a food allergy and they work collaboratively with us and her to ensure her needs are met. We highly recommend Young World for your child care needs!!

Our daughter has been going to Young World for almost 3 years and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are great with the kids. There are always planned activities and a daily routine, which we love as compared to other places who are just a free for all. Weekly emails as to what any activities will be and flyers posted at the door of any events in the class. Classrooms are neat, tidy and clean, our daughter loves the kitchen playset. Snacks are provided for the kids and they learn basic table manners. Bus transportation is provided to and from the school for after/before school. Jessica is always available for any questions or concerns you might have and is quick to respond to emails. She really cares about each family and the center as a whole.

We love Young World! The past 3 years have been a delightful and positive experience. The loving staff has fully prepared my baby for kindergarten in the fall.

“The wonderful teachers at Young World nurtured and educated our two children from toddler age through elementary school. Jessica and her staff are such a warm, caring, and compassionate bunch who truly have each child’s best interest at heart, and our kids loved their time there. We highly recommend Young World!”

Victoria F.

“Our daughter and son had an amazing time at Young World. Their teachers have been loving, caring, and keeping the safe during Covid times. They both have learned so much and gaining confidence in the areas they needed it. We couldn’t feel more fortunate to find this place!”

Kara M.

Young World is seriously the hidden gem I wish I found sooner. The teachers truly are amazing and go above and beyond to make kids feel welcome and cared about. The director is very organized and I feel as parents we are always kept in the loop. I will actually be sad when it is time for kindergarten as I can’t say enough great things about Young World.

Daniela R.

Everyone at Young World is so incredibly kind and I trust them with my child wholeheartedly.

Alison W.

Mother of 2 children. 
Both children attended Young World from age 3 until entering Kindergarten.

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my children over the last five (!) years -and not just “watching” them, but truly taking them into your hearts.

Amy G.

Parent of a 4 year old. Also, the parent of a child who attended Young World 10 years prior.

Thank you and your staff for making this experience a good one for our family.  I know that my son will do very well in school thanks in large part to the foundation given to him from your great staff. When our family returned to Young World, 10 or more years after our last child attended your program, I was surprised to see so many familiar faces.  This is a testament to you and your program that you do have so many long time employees, as well as families that return child after child. 

Bill & Pam J.

Parents of 2 children. Both children attended Young World, the last one from the age of 2.9 until entering Kindergarten.

Thank you and all your wonderful teachers for the great care that our son received.  It makes working so much easier knowing that your child is spending his day at a place where he is so well taken care of!  You have a fantastic school and staff!

Sheryl

Mother of 3 children.  All attended Young World.  The last one from the age of 2.9 until entering Kindergarten.

Our thanks and appreciation to all the staff at Young World. I am constantly bragging to people about how much faith & trust I have in all of you!! We all know that entrusting a child to a stranger now-a-days is a scary thing to do. You guys make it easy. It feels like home, and I wanted to say ‘Thank you’!

Deirdre

Parent of 2 children who attended Young World from the age of 2.9 thru Kindergarten.

I have been very happy with all of the different classes, teachers, and experiences that the kids have had over the years. We have also been so grateful for your program’s wonderful philosophy and curriculum. It is a relief to see young children allowed to explore and learn at their own pace, rather than being pressured into academic tracks too early. The staff seem so well organized, and the amount of planning and preparation they do seems extraordinary. I have noted how low your staff turnover is, and I know that it is one sign of a very well run program.

Celine and Tony Z.

Parents of 2 children.  Both children attended Young World.  The first child attended from Kindergarten thru 4th grade and the second attended from the age of 2.9 thru 4th grade.

Sometimes the word “THANK-YOU” seems so inadequate to truly express our gratitude and appreciation. But due to lack of a better word, please accept our sincere “THANKS” for the excellent care, learning experiences and friendly environment you have given our children over these past 8 years.
