The Skaneateles YMCA Early Childhood Education programs seek to develop the whole child through social, emotional, and physical growth. At the Skaneateles Y, we provide a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn, grow, and develop social skills. Daily activities for our threes and fours are structured around our “learning through play” philosophy. Children are engaged and challenged throughout the day with Kindergarten areas of focus activities. Teachers implement a developmental learning approach using discovery, choice, problem-solving, and exploration with fun, values-based activities. Unique to area pre-schools, the Skaneateles YMCA Pre-School offers weekly Learn to Swim and Learn to Skate lessons for our threes and fours. Each of our preschool programs includes art, science, music, fitness, outdoor play, and circle time, in addition to math and reading readiness skills.
