WHY YMCA PRESCHOOL?

NURTURING ENVIRONMENT

Our experienced and caring teachers provide a warm, home-like setting at all six of our San Diego County locations, where your child will feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn at their own pace.

Creative Curriculum

We foster curiosity, creativity and confidence in each child. Every activity is designed to build social skills, independence and a love for learning. Through careful observation, documentation, thoughtful questions and deep reflections, our teachers work in partnership with the children to plan activities that extend thinking, develop explorations and build social-emotional skills.

Whole Child Development

Through hands-on learning experiences, physical activities, and opportunities to explore their unique interests, your child will thrive while forming meaningful connections with peers and teachers.
