Providing the support and development your child needs early in life.
At the Y, we believe each child should be given every opportunity to reach their God-given potential, and learning should be FUN! Our curriculum includes a variety of daily activities to introduce and reinforce basic skills, through planned play and spontaneous learning opportunities.
Financial Assistance: Every child deserves the chance to a YMCA experience! The YMCA of Catawba Valley's Spirit Program can provide financial scholarships for Child Care Fees through donated community dollars. Contact your Center Director for more details.

The Sally's and Lincoln County Family YMCA preschool program is designed to meet your child's educational needs with activities that include group play time, Bible stories, music, arts, and fine and gross motor development. All of our classes are planned to develop each child's self-esteem and strong image of self-worth through learning and sharing in a fun, structured environment. Children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and solve problems in a warm Christian setting.
Our program is a combined system of thematic learning, physical activity, and Christian education. We believe that through play and other process-oriented experiences children gain confidence in their ability to learn. From the learning centers, to the organized classrooms to the playground and gymnasium, we strive to provide an atmosphere where children can laugh, learn, and play; a place where a child can be a child, growing intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually every day.
PURPOSE AND GOAL
As an aspect of our organization's focus, Youth Development, we strive to help preschoolers learn and grow through a carefully planned, Christian and mission-focused curriculum that teaches the following four pillars: 1. Healthy Choices 2. Building Relationships 3. Skill Development 4. Servant Leadership
Through this we will achieve our goal to provide a safe, wholesome Christian environment so that your child may achieve their greatest God-given potential. Each child will experience age-appropriate opportunities that will help them grow physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually.
