Preschool Enrichment
At the Y, we know that kids just want to have fun! We love providing a place where kids can be kids in a safe, fun environment that's filled with possibilities. Through our Preschool Enrichment programs, children discover new ways to grow, make friends, and learn something, too!
View our Program Guide on our Programs Page for class availability.
PRESCHOOL CLASSES with a parent:
Splash and Play at Fairgrounds Park
Join us at Fairgrounds Park for some family playtime. Kids learn by seeing, hearing, touching, exploring and having fun. You and your child will have fun socializing with other kids and families. The zerodepth pool and the sandbox will be available for your child’s use. We will have lifeguards available, but a parent must be in the water and with their child watching them at all times. A one-to-one ratio is preferred. If you cannot do the one-to-one ratio, a life jacket or puddle jumper must be on your children. Life jackets will be available for your use if you need. Each week we will end with a story and have bubbles and chalk available for activities. Y staff members will be there for guidance and support. Each child must be registered for this class. Class will meet in the Family Gym in case of inclement weather.
