addition, classes available at the YMCA such as dance and karate can 

be added on to your child’s day,* with YMCA staff ensuring each child 

moves safely from one activity to the next.

able to offer financial assistance to those unable to afford the standard 

fees. Contact or visit your local YMCA branch for more information. 

*Programs vary by branch. Ask your local branch for details. 

“My kids and I love the YMCA’s

Preschool STEM & Arts Academy 


Engaging Children. 

Building Bright Futures. 

At STEAM Academy, we introduce 

little scholars to a wide variety of 

brain-building activities in Science 

Technology, Engineering, Arts 

and Math.

the STEAM Academy was a worthy 

investment in our child’s future, 

and we can’t thank the whole staff 

enough for their efforts.”

of their lives than they will throughout all of their school 

years, our curriculum exposes them to a wide variety of

degreed specialty staff, the Environmental and STEM 

Education Complex, Creative and Performing Arts Center,
