Announcements & Reminders

Starting January 5, 2011
  • LEAP FROG PRESCHOOL

Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays
Ages 3-5
9 am -11:30 am
 

 

    Because preschool activity is so important to three, four and five year olds alike, children can busy themselves by participating in the thematically focused activities such as," Wild and Wacky Fun," and "Once Upon a Time."  Children will have the opportunity to create zaney dances using streamers, scarves and balloons, and make fairy-tale houses with their friends.  Our YMCA pre-school features bi-weekly themes, arts and crafts projects, games cooking free play, music story-time and more!  Children will learn many exciting skills through the YMCA.  Although our program is more relaxed than a traditional pre-school class, the skills they need to learn for Kindergarten will be reinforced in many fun ways.  Make your child's pre-school experience a positive one and sign them up for Lep Frog Preschool at the YMCA of Wooster today!

***ALL CHILDREN MUST BE POTTY TRAINED.   Preschoolers should wear good sneakers everyday to school.  One field trip will be planned for children and parents this school year with an additional charge, more information TBA.
