Preschool

PRE-SCHOOL & 4K

Children learn about the world around them—all with the help of trained and caring youth development staff. Our licensed Pre-School and 4K programs provide children with developmentally appropriate experiences in a self-initiated, hands-on discovery environment that allows children to explore, examine, manipulate and discover while thinking independently and solving problems.

Registration for the 2023-24 school year begins February 6 for Y Members and February 13 for the General Public.

Our 4K Wrap-Around Care for the Appleton, Horvonville, Kimberly and Kaukuana School districts is a convenient option for parents who need care before or after school, and offers children a stress-free transition in a fun and engaging environment.  4K Wrap-Around registration dates vary by district and occur after each district has placed their children in their 4K classroom.

NEW FOR 2023! COMPLETE YOUR CHILD'S PROFILE PRIOR TO REGISTRATION

Keeping your child’s information up to date will be easier than ever before! We are excited to introduce the new Profile feature within your online YMCA account. This feature houses your child's information needed for Wisconsin state licensing requirements as well as information our teachers need. The Profile is new and no information will transfer from the previously used Pre-registration Questionnaire. (Please note that information entered into the Profile does not update Membership Information).

• You will need your child’s immunization records, physician contact information and emergency contact information as this information must be entered into the Profile.
• At the time the Profile is filled out all questions are not required, however, at the time of registration, ALL QUESTIONS will be required. You will not be able to register until all questions are complete.
• We highly recommend you complete the Profile prior to registration day so you can register immediately at 6:00 AM.
• The system may time out if you take a break from entering information. To avoid this, click save changes at the bottom of the Profile frequently ensuring anything you have entered is saved.
• The Profile can be updated at any time so as information changes you can edit the Profile.
