PREP FOR SUCCESS WITH THE
Y'S PRESCHOOL READINESS PROGRAMS
Back this September! We are excited to offer half-day Preschool Readiness programs for children ages 2.5-3. The programs are designed to educate, engage and grow young minds as they get ready for preschool and beyond. 

Both our Toddler Plus program for children age 2.5, and the Three Day 3s program for children age 3, are state licensed and feature the Creative Curriculum and CATCH health and wellness activities. Both also include music and gym, with the Three Day 3s also incorporating one swim lesson per week for potty-trained students. The programs follow the same calendar as the Scotch Plains-Fanwood School District and will run from September-June.
The Toddler Plus program is open to children who will be 2.5 years old by September 1, 2023. It will be held Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00am–12:00pm. 
Three Day 3s is open to children who will be 3 years old by October 1, 2023. It will be held Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00am-12:00pm. Families have the option of extending the Three Day 3s program an additional hour with Lunch Bunch from 12:00-1:00pm.

Registration for these programs is open now to active members of the Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA. Registration can be done online at fspymca.org/register or in-person at our Welcome Center. Not a member? Join the Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA today at fspymca.org/join-the-Y.
