It is never too early to start making plans for your children at the Y, including the YMCA pre-school program and after school care camp in Florida. The summer has been filled with days spent at the pool, soaking in the sun, running and playing. Whether you’ve admitted it or not, though, the 2019-2020 school year is approaching slowly but surely, and we’re here to help you plan ahead.

As a parent you want the best for your child. It starts with looking for the best brands of diapers and bottles when they are newborns. Then, sneakers for their little feet when they begin to walk. But somewhere along the way wanting what is best becomes more complicated. As your child grows you want an educational program that will foster social, emotional, cognitive, language, and physical development. But you need a program that you can trust. The YMCA pre-school program and after school care camp in Florida offers both.

YMCA Pre-School Program

We are an accredited program that recognizes and promotes best practices in early childhood education. Our curriculum supports learning through play and developmentally appropriate activities. Your child’s safety and security is our top priority. We take every precaution to ensure safety for your child, including secure entry, licensing visits, and fenced and enclosed playgrounds. The YMCA pre-school program employs caring staff who value honesty, respect, and responsibility. We want what is best for your child and we won’t settle for less than exceptional care.

After School Care

Working parents with children already in grade school may also worry and ask, “Where can I place my child after school, where they can relax, have fun, and a measure of mental stimulus?’ The Y has several after school programs for children as well. After school care locations include: Greater Hollywood, Homestead, Pembroke Pines, and Weston. We strive to enrich academic and creative abilities and promote empowerment through our programming. After school camp at the YMCA’s in South Florida take place in a caring and encouraging environment in which children develop a sense of belonging.
