YMCA offers unique preschool
Swimming lessons are not typically part of the preschool curriculum.
But a half-dozen young children are getting that knowledge through preschool at the Butler YMCA.
Christina Braden, school age director at Butler YMCA, said that, although the YMCA’s preschool offering is similar to most other preschools in the area, the physical education aspects are a unique part of the curriculum.
“We can utilize the gym, as well as that swimming piece,” Braden said. “One perk is we do offer swim lessons that are incorporated into the class with preschool enrichment every Friday.”
Butler YMCA’s preschool enrichment program began Sept. 14, and Braden said there really is no deadline for parents to register their children age 3 to 5 to join.
The program takes place from 9:15 to 11:45 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and costs $135 per child per month.
The preschool enrichment program semester runs until Dec. 16. For information or to register, visit the YMCA website or call Braden at 724-287-4733, ext. 137.
