3-5 YearsA Preschool Experience That Builds the Whole Child
At the Y, we believe every child is wonderfully made. Our preschool uses the ABC Jesus Loves Me curriculum, which blends age-appropriate academics with faith-based learning. Through hands-on exploration and guided activities, children grow socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically.
What Your Child Will Experience
Our daily activities are thoughtfully planned to support each child’s development, including:
-
Group Playtime – Learning to share, take turns, and build friendships
-
Bible Stories – Age-appropriate lessons rooted in Christian values
-
Music & Movement – Encouraging creativity, rhythm, and joyful expression
-
Fine & Gross Motor Skill Development – Strengthening coordination and confidence
-
Structured Learning & Free Play – Helping children learn routines while exploring their interests
All activities are led by caring, qualified staff who create a warm, safe space where children feel known and loved.
Financial Assistance Available
At the Y, we think fun, new friends, positive role models and great times should be available to every child. That’s why we provide scholarships to families who need help making preschool a reality.
If your family needs financial assistance, scholarship forms are available online and are kept completely confidential. Funds are made possible because of the generous donations made through our Annual Giving Campaign.
