Preschool at Y Academy
Big questions belong here.
Y Academy preschool at the Merrimack YMCA serves children ages 3 to 4. Through purposeful play and teacher-guided activities, preschoolers explore ideas, make friends and build the skills they'll carry into kindergarten.
Skills Your Child Will Build
Early literacy and math through stories, counting, comparing and problem-solving
Social skills like taking turns, sharing ideas and working through disagreements
Independence in classroom routines and self-care
Curiosity and confidence through hands-on discovery
Learning Together
Joining a group activity, asking for a turn, making a new friend: these take practice. Our teachers guide children with patience and encouragement as they find their place in the classroom.

How is preschool different from Pre-K?
