At the Y, we believe that children learn best through play.
We nurture development by providing a safe place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships plus cultivate fine and gross motor skills. We plan our classes to develop each child’s self-esteem and strong image of self-worth. In every class, we encourage children to explore, ask questions and solve problems.
Our YMCA preschool programs integrate purposeful and intentionally planned activities that are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching children valuable skills.
