YMCA Early Education Center

The Salina Family YMCA provides licensed childcare with preschool curriculums and activities for children ages 2 to school age. All teachers have degrees in Early Childhood, Elementary Education or CDAs. Paraprofessionals have child education related experience. Our well-trained staff provides safe, affordable, high-quality care, so you can have peace of mind while you work. All programs have low child-teacher ratios (1 to 8), healthy meals and snacks, gym activities and outdoor playtime, open swimming and an environment to enhance each child’s physical, social, emotional and intellectual development.

The Early Education Center is for fulltime care only. The goal of the EEC is to provide a quality, enriching, and stimulating developmental preschool/child development program that will help children get a good start in life before they enter school. The EEC wants to reduce the number of at-risk children and improve future educational achievement. Each childs intellectual, physical, spiritual, social and emotional needs will be addressed at his/her level with developmentally appropriate teaching strategies. Breakfast, lunch and snack are provided. A youth membership is required.
