Toddler Exploration is a program for 2-3-year-olds at the YM & YWHA of Washington Heights & Inwood. Classes meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m.-11:45 a.m. Send an email to gbharth@ywhi.org

In Toddler Exploration, children explore and discover through structured play, gardening and nature appreciation, movement and music, stories, and snack time. They socialize with peers, with their parent/caregiver present during class, while learning the rhythms of the classroom. Toddler Exploration takes place on the Y’s newly renovated rooftop playground and garden and follows the Y’s health and safety protocols. (In the event of cancellation, a make-up class will be rescheduled.)

The Y Early Childhood programs embrace families from diverse backgrounds and cultivate a connection to Jewish values and traditions.
