Each day at our YMCA centers preschoolers are exploring, building confidence, enhancing their creativity, and growing their critical thinking skills. At the YMCA we believe in purposeful play as the tool to early education. The classroom and outdoor spaces are structured to provide the tools and educational support that children need to succeed in Kindergarten and life. Our program supports cognitive, social-emotional, physical, language and literacy development for all children in care. From the screening of staff to the playground to nap time, we maintain a safe environment where teachers can give attention to each child. We are licensed by the State of California to ensure the quality of care.
