CURRICULUM COMPONENTS Our students benefit from the progressive learning environment at the YMCA
Preschool. Our Y curriculum helps to build reading and math readiness as well as adding components such as sign language,
Spanish, swimming, and physical fitness. Our 4’s program is in collaboration with the Raleigh County School System.
The Creative Curriculum is used in conjunction with the Y curriculum. The preschool benefits from this collaboration also
by receiving county speech and hearing screenings, providing potential learning problem assessments and gaining school lunch
benefits. 2 YEAR OLD CLASS
The two year old class begins with the fundamentals of learning and being a
part of a group. Kids in this class enjoy Circle Time, where the group gathers for teachers to share ideas, plans and
observations as well as for activities designed to stimulate thinking, enrich social skills and develop attention spans; Gross-motor
Activities, which give kids the opportunity to use their muscles and imaginations through fun, healthy exercises; Fine-motor
Activities to help improve small muscle development and eye-hand coordination; and Art Activities to bring out creativity
and concept development. Our two year old class also participates in weekly swimming at the Y!
3 YEAR OLD CLASS The three year old class builds on the foundation built by the two year old class. Weekly in
depth concepts include the Alphabet, Numbers & Counting, Writing, and Thematic Units. Fine motor skills are
practiced everyday through play and instruction. Large motor skills are augmented through participation in gym time,
play ground time and our one and only learn-to-swim program!
4 YEAR OLD CLASS The four year
old class rounds out our special learning environment as kids in this group are prepared to move on to Kindergarten. We
combine the Creative Curriculum, in collaboration with Raleigh County Schools, and Advanced concepts such as Sign
Language, Spanish, and Special Units. Our teachers especially focus on reading readiness activities and beginning phonics
education to encourage our students to become life long readers. The four year old class also participates in swimming at
the Y! At the end of the year, our four year old class celebrates the move to Kindergarten with a special graduation
ceremony.
