  The perfect solution for working parents with young children is the Cranston YMCA’s full day pre-school childcare program is called Kids World. Kids World is held at The John O. Pastore Center, 600 New London Avenue, Cranston, RI. Kids World is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Our full day, year round childcare center is licensed by the RI DCYF and department of education. Learning experiences are developmentally appropriate and focus on the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of each child. Our teachers know that children learn through play and at different times and in different ways, and therefore, will meet each child’s individual needs. Kids World is for children aged 3 to 5 and operates 52 weeks per year from 6:45 AM to 6:00 PM.
