Our Philosophy
We have a year round program with limited breaks, breakfast, lunch and snack and 8.5 hours a day of accredited preschool focusing on your child. YWCA Preschool provides a variety of ways to educate the whole child—attending to cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language development of children and youth from widely diverse backgrounds, focusing on their interests and passions. The future of our communities depends on the healthy development of our children, and the development of our children depends on the readiness and dedication of qualified professionals dedicated to working with all children.
