EARLY LEARNING CENTER

AT THE MARYSVILLE FAMILY YMCA

The YMCA of Snohomish County is proud to announce the opening of our new Early Learning Center at the Marysville Family YMCA! This state-of-the-art facility is already welcoming children and families, providing affordable, high-quality care for 68 local kids. With the growing demand for early childhood education in our community, this center is a vital step in ensuring more children have the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Made possible through community collaboration, generous donors, and significant state and federal support—including a $2.2 million Washington State Early Learning Facilities grant and nearly $1 million in federal funding—the project has transformed the Marysville YMCA Youth Development Center into a four-classroom space designed for growth and discovery.

At the Y, we believe every family deserves access to nurturing, high-quality care regardless of financial circumstances. This new Early Learning Center reflects that commitment and strengthens our mission to support youth and families across Snohomish County.
