At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on in life are vital building blocks for quality of life. Kids learn their ABCs, learn to share and, most importantly, learn how to be themselves. That makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
Some YMCAs offer a partial week and/or partial day preschool program that offers fun, socialization and developmentally appropriate experiences for children ages three to five. Best of all, our child care programs and activities are based on caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Little Red Hen Play Dates are a wonderful way for children ages 0-6 and their caregivers to experience the magic of Waldorf Early Childhood Education. You and your child will bake bread — a weekly occurrence in the Waldorf School's Early Childhood Program — listen to stories; join in a circle time filled with songs, rhymes, and movement; and explore the outdoors in the mini meadow.
