Enrichment Center (Preschool Program, see below for schedule options)
This inclusive program for 2.5 - 5 year old children is a safe, caring environment where each child is encouraged to learn new skills, express him/herself freely and explore the environment.
Teachers facilitate independence, self-esteem and model and support problem-solving skills. Teachers provide an environment designed to promote social-emotional, language, cognitive, and physical skills. Using process-oriented activities, children learn risk-taking and build self-confidence.
Our day is designed with individual and group activities as well as free and structured play time. Daily, teachers observe, write anectodal observations, and interact with children. Their goal is to maintain an environment that is stimulating and meets the needs of each child at his/her own level of readiness. Additionally, children participate in a weekly swim lesson and free swim class as well as gymnastics class. Ultimately, in keeping with the purpose and philosophy of the YMCA, we strive to help children develop fully in body, mind, and spirit.
Curriculum
We believe that children learn through play. Therefore, the environment in our child care programs will be designed to allow the children to explore and create independently. It is our goal to provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum, which will enhance the healthy growth of your child as an individual. Through observation, teachers will design creative activities that teach skills needed to move to the next developmental stage.
