A unique preschool experience for ages 3 to 5

Welcome to the Montessori Preschool at West Chester Area YMCA, a unique full and morning program that focuses on awakening the spirit, mind and body in every child.

West Chester Montessori at the YMCA fosters the fullest development of each child, and provides a foundation for a life of joyful and successful learning. The YMCA is founded on the principles of spirit, mind, and body, and nowhere will this approach be more evident than in our Montessori school. Not only do we offer a holistic educational experience, our students enjoy extensive enrichment activities including:
• swim lessons • yoga instruction • gym activities • music • gardening • Spanish language instruction • artists-in-residence and more!
All teachers in our program are Montessori-credentialed.

In a Montessori Classroom....
Children engage in interactive learning in an environment carefully prepared by an educator who is sensitive to the individual needs and abilities of each child. Children choose their activities and discover language, mathematics, geography,
geometry, art and music using materials developed by Maria Montessori.
