YMCA Day Care & Preschool Programs
From the very beginning, the Y’s day care and preschool programs nurture the potential of every child. Each day, children experience success in a warm, caring and fun environment that stimulates their natural curiosity and encourages personal expression.
Infant
6 weeks to 16 months
We build positive one-on-one relationships with you and your infant. We work with you to incorporate requests, creating a consistent, safe environment your child needs to grow and thrive.
Toddler
16 to 33 months
Toddlers gain a strong foundation for learning through interaction and exploration. Our classroom experiences help develop self-control, cooperation and communication skills in a nurturing environment.
Preschool
33 months to 4 years
In preschool, children develop their cognitive skills. Through hands-on activities, we create enthusiasm and excitement around learning to keep children interested as they prepare for kindergarten.
Pre-Kindergarten
4 to 5 years
Children develop a passion for learning and experience a true sense of achievement. In pre-kindergarten, we further develop skills for classroom readiness socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively.
