YW offers educational programming for infants and toddlers, Pre-K Counts, and preschool; after-school programming is available for school-age children through sixth grade.

Pre-K Counts offers children ages 3-5 a quality academic and social education. All activities are tailored to suit the students’ needs, and their progress is recorded and regularly reviewed by the instructors. Pre-K Counts provides a safe environment for children to adjust and prepare for kindergarten. Children enrolled before April 29 will be eligible for seven weeks of free summer camp through YW’s Camp Adventures. Pre-K Counts is free for all income-qualified families.
