WCSD Pre-Kindergarten Registration

The YMCA is pleased to work in coordination with the Watertown City School District to provide a full day Pre-K option for both 3 and 4-year-olds. Locations for full-day Pre-K are at the YMCA Daycare, 514 Washington St, Watertown NY, 13601, as well as Starbuck Elementary School, 430 E Hoard St, Watertown, NY 13601. The Y Daycare location also includes a lactation room. 

Both programs follow the Watertown City School District calendar.

Applications are through the Watertown City School District.

Classrooms are led by a NYS Certified Teacher, and lesson plans are based on the Creative Curriculum and the NYS Pre-Kindergarten Foundation for Early Learning Guidelines. There are MAT, CPR, and First Aid trained staff on site at all times. Nutritious meals prepared to state guidelines are offered, and we participate with DSS to provide high quality care.
