The YCC bridges the Nido and Children’s House programs (18 months to 3 years).

It is specifically designed to assist the child as his/her mobility and language continue to develop. The environment stresses socialization and language enrichment, allows for purposeful work with the hands, and encourages repetition. Children also participate in the care of their outdoor environment. The concept of choice becomes central to children at this age, and the opportunity to select work based on interest allows each child’s concentration, self-confidence, and independence to grow.
