Adventures in Learning
Ages 3-5 Years Old.
We nurture our children's cognitive, social, emotional, language, physical and creative development to form a foundation for formal education after leaving the YMCA. Through our partnership with Building Blocks, our center has been able to implement Creative Curriculum, applicable to all ages, while having the support of a weekly coach. Creative Curriculum allows for learning through play and provides child led discovery. This has provided our center with new learning opportunities as well as assessments that create open discussion between teachers and families and show growth throughout the preschool year.
At the Y, students will benefit from quality instruction time with our teachers in a small classroom setting allows your child to have more individualized attention, focusing on your child’s needs to be successful.
In all-day preschool your child has additional opportunities to swim as a class, experience fresh air fitness outdoors on our playground, and use our facilities to increase physical activity in the morning and afternoon. Furthermore, the Learning Center is open for an additional 25 days including spring break, fall break, and in-service days when other preschools may be closed. Preschool is for children ages 3 and up by August 10, 2026.
