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.
