Programs & Services

The YMCA of Central Ohio preschool curriculum focuses on Social Interaction, Physical Development, Kindergarten Readiness and Character Development. Many of our preschools offer 2, 3 and 5 day a week programing designed for different developmental levels.

NAEYC-accredited Hilltop Preschool, North Preschool and Garver Preschool are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

Why choose an NAEYC-accredited program?

NAEYC-accredited programs have demonstrated a commitment to providing a high quality program for young children and their families. While the accreditation process examines the total program, greatest emphasis is placed on the quality of interactions among staff and children and the developmental appropriateness of the curriculum—what really happens to the children. Health and safety, staffing, staff qualifications, physical environment, and administration are all reviewed during accreditation, but primary consideration is given to the nature of the child's experience.

Whether your interest in early childhood programs is as a parent seeking a program for your child, as an employer looking to support your employees' child care needs, or as an interested citizen, accreditation helps you identify high quality programs. High quality is important for children and families, so parents can be reassured that their children are in good hands. And, what's good for families is also good for business and communities. In short, high quality early childhood programs benefit us all!
