Flatbush Ymca Preschool believes that a quality program should provide enriching experiences which facilitate a child's cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth.
We strive to meet the developmental needs and temperament of each individual child by working in partnership with families.
YMCA Early Child Development programs, licensed by the State of New York, provide a curriculum focused on education, leadership and character development.
At the YMCA, we view youth as assets to our community – with strengths, leadership and skills.
All young people, regardless of ethnicity, gender, or economic, geographic or religious background, face choices that can positively or negatively influence their futures.
Through programs that give youth and teens opportunities to gain leadership skills, core values and an ethic of service, the YMCA helps young people make wise and healthy choices.
Under the guidance of caring adults, youth learn fair play and positive communication and develop a spirit of cooperation - all skills that are needed to succeed.
