Preschool Information

The YMCA Preschool is a program designed for children 3 and 4 years of age. The school year runs from September to May. Each week is based on a different theme. Daily the children will learn to write their names, alphabet and number recognition while introducing many other small motor skills in the classroom. Social development is also encouraged as the children learn to play together in a group and how to conduct themselves in a classroom.

We are excited to offer the wonderful facilities of the Fairgrounds YMCA to our Preschool Program. During class, large motor skill development will be encouraged as the children will participate in a variety of activities during their Gym Time.
