WHERE BRIGHT FUTURES BEGIN
A YMCA PRESCHOOL PROGRAM BUILDING STRONG MINDS, CONFIDENT LEARNERS, AND LIFELONG SUCCESS
The early years of a child’s life are some of the most important. From birth to age five, a child’s brain grows and develops faster than at any other time. In fact, about 90% of brain development happens before age five.
That is why the YMCA’s Preschool Program focuses on giving children the attention, care, and learning experiences they need during these critical years. Our program uses fun, age-appropriate activities that follow early learning standards to help children grow, explore, and learn every day.
Through play, guided activities, and positive relationships, children build important skills like confidence, self-control, problem-solving, communication, and a love of learning. We are helping your child build a strong foundation for school and for life.
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR RETURNING AND NEW STUDENTS!
At the YMCA, we believe healthy growth starts early. Our preschool program is designed to help your child learn, play, and grow in a safe and caring environment using the HighScope learning approach, which means kids learn best by doing, exploring, and having fun.
We also offer Nature School every Tuesday and Thursday, where children spend time outdoors exploring and learning through hands-on activities. Rain or shine, kids play, discover, and learn about the world around them. We provide rain gear and snow pants so your child stays comfortable in all kinds of weather.
With a mix of play, learning activities, and outdoor adventures, our caring and trained staff help children build confidence, make friends, and develop important skills they will use for school and for life.
