Classroom Overview

kindergarten

We like to think everything about our programs, staff and children make us unique! Below are a few of the benefits you will get from YWCA NENY that you likely will not find at any other day care center or preschool.

We focus on early childhood education. We get our preschoolers ready for kindergarten.

We also value health & fitness. Our children receive a healthy breakfast, lunch and snack, as well as one hour of large motor activity in a full size gym or large room daily. In addition to the gym/large motor room, the children go for walks and each site has a fenced in playground that allows the children to explore the outdoors.

Children learn in and experience their urban environment, which includes trips to local parks, farmers’ markets, museums and more.

The YWCA’s Creative Curriculum/anti-bias curriculum teaches children to understand, accept, and celebrate the diversity of all people.
