The YMCA Building Blocks Preschool: Serious Fun. Joyful Learning!
Building
Blocks Preschool is a licensed preschool that focuses on
building the spirit, mind, and body of every child. This dynamic
program, which runs from September through May two or three days
per week, provides a developmentally appropriate learning
environment for children ages 2½ to 5. Our preschool is designed
to enrich your child through a variety of activities, including
Spanish language study,
music,
sign language, and
computer
technology! We encourage the love of reading using
renowned children's literature, which we use as a
spring- board into daily activities. All classes are age appropriate.
In our preschool, your child will make new friends, learn kindergarten readiness skills and build self-confidence through » creative gym activities » arts & crafts » story time » dramatic play » guest speakers » and much more!
We offer swim lessons as an optional companion program to the Building Blocks Preschool.
Lessons 
are coordinated with preschool class times, so it's a convenient way to introduce your child to the water and the fundamentals of water safety. Swimming enhances your child's self-help
skills, fine and gross motor skills, coordination, and
patterning. Participants swim one day each week. Lessons are
given by YMCA-certified instructors and follow the Y-Skipper
swim program.
