At the Y, each day is a journey of discovery and learning. How do plants grow? Who is George Washington? What is respect? How do
I sort by color? How do things float? Who is Eric Carle? By using the Creative Curriculum (for children ages 6 weeks to 2 years) and the Core Knowl-edge Preschool Curriculum (for children ages 3 to 5 years), our teachers carefully plan activities to ensure that your child will develop the academic and social skills needed for kindergarten and beyond:

Language & Literacy – Reciting nursery rhymes, finger plays and songs. Increasing vocabulary. Reading stories and story-telling. Learning reading and writing skills. Physical Well-being – Implementing movement, coordination, and fine and gross motor development through outdoor play and the I Am Moving, I Am Learning curriculum. Social & Emotional Development – Learning social skills and work habits. Understanding rules and following directions. Math – Discovering mathematical concepts, including patterning, sequencing, counting, grouping and sorting to name a few. Science – Making predictions and understanding the physical world around us. Music – Identifying sounds and rhythms. Singing, dancing and playing instruments. Visual Arts – Producing art using various media and techniques. Examining and appreciating artwork. Character Development – Implementing the Y core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

All of this allows us to provide asset-rich programs that meet or exceed state standards and help young children build developmental assets- the building blocks that shape children into caring, responsible and successful members of society.
