Finding a balance between work, home, and your child’s early education just got easier. The Alexandria Area YMCA is excited to announce new 3-day preschool options for children ages 3–5.
This program is designed for local families who need high-quality care without a full-time commitment. By offering a consistent 3-day schedule, we ensure your child builds strong bonds with teachers and peers while maintaining a routine that fits your lifestyle.
Program Details & Eligibility
To keep our classrooms stable and supportive for every student, the following guidelines apply:
- Age Requirement: Available exclusively for children ages 3–5.
- Consistent Scheduling: Families select three fixed days per week (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri). These days must remain the same each week to support classroom routines.
- Availability: Enrollment is based on current classroom space. Please note that priority is given to full-time (5-day) enrollments.
- Simple Tuition: Tuition is charged at a flat 3-day contracted rate ($165/week). To keep our staffing consistent, we do not offer credits or make-up days for holidays or absences.
Flexible Care That Grows With You
We understand that life is busy. Our 3-day rate allows your child to enjoy the YMCA’s FunnyDaffer curriculum—focusing on social skills, literacy, and active play—on a schedule that works for you.
Important Note on Placement: As our programs grow and classrooms fill, families on the 3-day plan may eventually be asked to transition to a 5-day rate to maintain their spot. Don’t worry! We will always provide advanced written notice before any schedule or rate adjustments are required.
