Y’s Owls Preschool is a place of discovery where each child is acknowledged as an individual with his or her own feelings, needs and interests.
Our philosophy is to focus on helping your child reach his or her fullest potential.
A preschool education provides opportunities for young children to discover their own abilities, to make simple adjustments to their environment and to become aware of
their bodies.
Our program directors lead a qualified, experienced staff in implementing the Creative Curriculum. This curriculum provides your child with a balance of structured and independent activities and builds the foundation for academic and social competence.
Families are an important part of our preschool community. Parents are encouraged to visit, volunteer and share hobbies, occupations and traditions. Opportunities for family involvement occur through parent meetings, parent workshops and special events.
