Registration Open For Rye Y Spring Pre-School Enrichment Program
The program could be an extension to the pre-school day or just a way to sample the pre-school experience.

RYE, NY — Registration is now open for the Rye YMCA’s Pre-School Enrichment Program fall session. The Y offers morning or afternoon options as an extension to the pre-school day or as an alternative for families who are looking to just sample the pre-school experience.
The program takes advantage of the Y’s team of experienced, dedicated and nurturing childcare professionals and the facility itself, according to a Y spokeswoman. Children are able to enjoy swim lessons, sports instruction, movement, cooking, art, science, gardening and playground time. The student to staff ratio is 4:1.
Head teacher Sue Padgett, a 25-year childcare veteran, said, “Working with the Preschool Enrichment Program at the YMCA has been so much fun. The kids are happy, energetic, creative and respectful. In a short time, they have achieved a strong sense of belonging within our group and truly enjoy each other’s company.”

Parents concur with Padgett’s assessment, with one mother commenting, “We’re super happy with the program. Jack comes home tired from all the activities and asks to come back the next morning.”
Registration is now open for fall 2019. Families can choose between morning or afternoon programs for one day (Wednesday), two days (Tuesday and Thursday) or three days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Bussing is available to/from Christ’s Church Nursery School, Monday through Friday and to Rye Presbyterian Nursery School on Wednesday morning.
