YMCA of Metro Atlanta Early Learning Enrollment Open for 2023-2024 School Year
Thursday, March 23rd, 2023
The YMCA of Metro Atlanta today announced early learning enrollment is open at 11 Y Early Learning Program locations for the 2023-2024 school year. The Y’s state-licensed early learning programs help improve school readiness and prepare preschool children for success.
Through partnerships with the Early Head Start and Head Start programs, the Y serves more than 2,000 children. Early Learning Programs use researched-based curriculum, which supports learning through play, creative expression and guided activities. Additionally, the Y implements four programs: Read Right From the Start, STEAM Learning, Start for Life and Early Learning Readiness to address every aspect of a child’s developmental needs and prepare them for success.
“To ensure every child is set for success, the Y has created a fun, safe and supportive environment to allow youth to learn in distinctive, individual ways and explore what they find interesting and stimulating,” said Lauren Koontz, president and CEO of YMCA of Metro Atlanta. “Our early learning programs are designed to provide an engaging curriculum that prepare preschoolers to enter Kindergarten on a path to read to learn by third grade.”
With a child-centered approach to early learning, the curriculum places an emphasis on school readiness goals, including arts, mathematics, science and technology, social studies, literacy, character development and healthy habits.
