SkyView YMCA Preschool is Growing!

Thanks to a partnership with Clark County and the City of North Las Vegas, the SkyView YMCA Preschool will be expanding to serve our community and our early learners! Southern Nevada is one of the fastest growing regions in the United States. With this exponential growth comes an even greater need for access to child care, particularly the need for effective early childhood education.

In August of 2024, the SkyView Preschool Village will open, serving 80 children to reach their full potential through high quality early childhood education. Stay tuned for more updates on the SkyView Preschool Village!

It’s what makes our preschool extra special!

The Y uses the HighScope Method, an evidence-based curriculum, and is nationally accredited through QRIS to ensure Kindergarten readiness. Your little learner is sure to make new friends, create memories, and develop a love for learning!

Early Learning 1

Growing with HighScope Curriculum

Our preschool utilizes the HighScope Curriculum, a comprehensive evidence-based curriculum, that is one of the strongest early childhood education curricula in the nation. It supports active learning to inspire each and every child to become a more creative, confident thinker by integrating exploration and discovery as a way of learning.

The curriculum also incorporates authentic observational assessments and progress reports that are conducted within 30 days of the child’s enrollment in the program, mid-year, and within 30 days of the child leaving the program.

Early Learning 2

Building Parent-Teacher Relationships

The Y’s wholistic approach to our families is what sets us apart from other preschools. Families have access to YMCA centers to pursue health benefits, preschoolers will participate in free swim lessons, and families will have access to all free family engagement programming. Communication about your child’s day is vital to building strong parent-teacher relationships. We use a parent-friendly platform that allows teachers to share photos, videos, and updates with parents throughout the day safely and securely.

Early Learning 3

Providing High Quality Education

Early childhood education programming at the YMCA develops cognitive, social-emotional, and motor skills with each child’s critical growth years and meets all standards for kindergarten readiness. Our curriculum is built around teacher and child, initiated learning activities in six main content areas: language, literacy, and communication; mathematics; social and emotional development; physical care and development; creative arts; and science and technology.
