childcare
GMV YMCA @ Edgewood Elementary is a SUTQ Gold-rated school-age care program operating at Edgewood Elementary in Trenton, serving children in before- and after-school hours. The program is staffed by child development professionals focused on building social skills, confidence, and engagement with activities spanning full-day early learning, preschool, before/after school care, and school day-out programming. Gold-quality assurance reflects rigorous program standards. As a school-site program serving school-age children only, it does not offer infant or toddler care, and limited public parent reviews mean families should conduct direct due diligence.
