Middlefield Children's Center -- enrolling and hiring!

Families looking for an extra year to help their child build confidence and prepare for kindergarten have a new option at the Northern Middlesex YMCA.
Enrollment is now open for the Y&rsquo;s Kindergarten Preparatory Academy (KPA), a transition program designed for children who are 4&frac12; years old and born between September 2021 and March 2022.
The program follows the same curriculum as the Middletown Public Schools KPA program, while offering smaller teacher-to-child ratios and more individualized attention. Through a supportive, engaging environment, children have opportunities to strengthen the social, emotional and developmental skills that can help them enter kindergarten ready to learn and thrive.
The YMCA&rsquo;s KPA offers full-day care from 7:15 a.m.&ndash;5:15 p.m., making the program a convenient option for working families as well.
Only 9 openings are currently available for fall enrollment as of 8/15. Spots may fill quickly. Act today! Submit your application now.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.midymca.org/copy-of-preschool-general-info" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Submit Your Application Now</a>
