Play-Based Learning Approach
EAC YMCA Early Education programs offer a play-based approach that involves both child-initiated and teacher-supported learning with hands-on activities through center play, artistic activities, and mindfulness practice that create a warm and healthy classroom environment.
Social Emotional Learning
Our teachers are making great efforts to create a safe and loving environment with a social emotional emphasis featuring Dr.
Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline®. Children will participate in activities that foster social and emotional development throughout their day that will prepare them to:
- Make friends and keep friendships
- Gain confidence
- Resolve conflicts
- Manage stress and anxiety
- Make appropriate decisions
- Learn strengths and weaknesses
- Gain awareness of what others are feeling
Building Friendships & Positive Relationships
EAC YMCA offers a program where children can engage with peers and establish meaningful friendships
Learning Centers
During center time the children will guide their own learning with their curiosity and interests by exploring the several areas throughout the classroom that include:
- Library
- Building and Construction
- Pretend Play
- Creative Expression
- Math & Manipulatives
- Science & Discovery
- Sensory Station
This time allows children to grow in their social skills such as self regulation, problem solving, collaboration with others, independence, self esteem and confidence.
Developmentally
Appropriate Curriculum
Frog Street Curriculum, developed in accordance with early brain development research, offers intentional instruction that fosters essential growth in the four developmental domains (language, cognitive, physical, social emotional). Through a social and emotional emphasis and well-rounded scope of hands-on learning activities, children develop the skills necessary to continue on the path to kindergarten readiness.
- Infants: Building Strong Foundations
- Toddlers: Nurturing Curiosity through Exploration
- Threes: Expanding Wonder and New Horizons
Social Emotional Learning: Our teachers create a safe and loving environment with a social emotional emphasis featuring Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline®. Children will participate in activities that foster social and emotional development throughout their day that will prepare them to:
- Make friends and keep friendships
- Gain confidence
- Resolve conflicts
- Manage stress and anxiety
- Make appropriate decisions
- Learn strengths and weaknesses
- Gain awareness of what others are feeling
Texas Rising Star
The Texas Rising Star program is a voluntary quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) for child care programs.
Numerous research studies have shown that children who attend higher-quality early learning programs are more prepared for school entry than children who do not attend high-quality programs.
Our programs offer quality that exceeds the child care licensing standards for director and staff qualifications, teacher-child interactions, program administration, family education and engagement, and indoor and outdoor learning environments. These above and beyond practices positively affect the development of the children we serve.
Physical Development
Children will have several opportunities throughout their day to actively explore their indoor and outdoor environments by using their bodies to practice their gross motor skills, such as running, jumping, balancing, dancing, crawling and more.
Healthy Snack
EAC YMCA ensures children have access to a healthy, balanced snack each morning and afternoon. Snacks include a variety of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and small amounts of added sugar and saturated fat.
All USDA approved.
Small Group Instruction
Preschoolers will experience hands-on activities during small group instruction which allows the teacher to provide specific support to help each child move to the next level of learning. These activities include fine motor skills, sorting, counting, and number and letter recognition.

The 3-acre pool, fed by underground springs, maintains a constant temperature of 26 to 28 degrees. The area around the pool features recreational lawns, bathhouses, and an educational exhibit about the history of Barton Springs, including the endangered salamander that lives in the area.

8. Austin Bats
Experts say Austin is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America. Approximately 1.5 million bats call the Ann Richards Bridge on Congress Avenue their home. Bats settled here after the reconstruction of the bridge in 1980, creating crevices perfect for bats to hide from predators. Every spring, Mexican free-tailed bats migrate north to the bridge to give birth and raise their young. During the summer, bats can be seen every evening at dusk as they fly out in search of food to rid the city of pesky insects before heading back to central Mexico in the fall.
Evening kayaking at Lady Bird Lake is a great way to watch bats.
The Congress Avenue Bridge is located south of downtown Austin, between the Colorado River and Lady Bird Lake. There is a footpath on the bridge, and it is best to go to the bridge before sunset.
