Offering full and part-time opportunities, the Y's Preschool is dedicated to providing young children with a developmentally appropriate, year-round preschool education.
Our program includes child-guided learning experiences which support healthy spiritual, intellectual and physical development.
Preschool Staff
The Y Preschool program is successful because of the extraordinary people who make it all happen each day. All Y staff members meet or exceed state licensing guidelines and follow our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Y staff also portrays positive role models while providing care, which is supportive, nurturing, warm and responsive to each child’s needs.
Creative Curriculum
Literacy, language development, mathematics, science, gross and fine motor skills are integrated into the curriculum. Our program encourages exploration, creativity and self-expression through developmentally appropriate activities. The Y sets the standard in early-learning education by including weekly swim lessons into each child's tuition, creating well-rounded kids.
Safety at Preschool
Your child’s safety and security is our top priority and is achieved through established and practiced procedures. We take every precaution to ensure safety for your child, including:
- Secure entry
- Frequent site inspections
- Maintenance of buildings, playgrounds and equipment
