At YMCA Inspire Preschool for ages 3 to 6 and toilet trained, we know that children learn best through meaningful, hands-on experiences. Our talented teachers deliver daily lessons that allow for exploration and individualized learning opportunities for every child.
By supporting your child’s academic, social and emotional well-being, they will be set up for a lifetime of learning success.
Located inside the new Loveland YMCA (formerly Mary Blair Elementary, we are uniquely equipped to provide our students with an amazing assortment of indoor and outdoor play opportunities. Along with our beautiful new classrooms and playground, our students will have the opportunity to use our indoor gym space and our surrounding walking paths. We’re even adding new preschool enrichment activities taught by our Y sports staff. Plus, all preschool families receive a free family membership to the Y. That includes access
to our fitness centers, pools, gyms and more. With the membership, you also receive discounts on sports and aquatics programs, including swim lessons for use at all YMCA of Northern Colorado locations.
Contact the Business Office after you have enrolled in preschool to apply for your free membership. Please note, when you re-enroll for preschool for a new school year, you will need to reapply
for your membership.
The Curriculum
Inspire Preschool utilizes Creative Curriculum, a developmentally appropriate early childhood curriculum used throughout the state of Colorado. The research-based lessons are designed to build on each child’s strengths and interests while encouraging positive teacher/child interactions. The
classroom environment and daily schedule are carefully designed to enhance the curriculum as well. We also use Teaching Strategies GOLD for progress monitoring and kindergarten readiness assessment.
