Fort Wayne Community Schools (Preschool) Y Care
The Y Preschool program is a dual enrollment program with Fort Wayne Community Schools, allowing your child a continued day of learning and care in a structured, enjoyable environment. We believe that social and emotional development is very important at this age. Our program is designed to provide each child with those skills. Hands-on themed centers will focus on literacy, art, fine/gross motor skills, character development and math. All work towards preparing your child for Kindergarten and are based on Indiana and local standards. Our mature and experienced staff will also focus on incorporating the Y's core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility into this program.
