About

The Riverbrook Regional Y Preschool Program is a state-licensed learning program for 3-5 year olds, with a 1-8 ratio of teachers to children. The program seeks to provide a nurturing environment that builds upon your child's natural curiosity, imagination and creativity.

The overall philosophy of the program is that children learn best by participating in "hands-on" activities and learning through free play. Classrooms are set up for center-based learning: easels, blocks, dramatic play, art, water table, library corner, math, and science. Children can choose activities based on their own interests. We use a balance of small group and whole group activities.

The concept of whole language learning is presented as the pre-reading element of the program, and is introduced into the classroom in a variety of ways: stories read to children, songs, letter of the week, sight words, writing, chants, finger plays, poems and taking children's dictation. Children are introduced to activities that help develop a connection between speaking and listening, which can enhance reading skills in Kindergarten and elementary school. Our school's curriculum is created around the CT Early Childhood Standards.

A major goal of the Y Preschool Program is to promote each child's good health and physical well being by developing large muscle strengths through swimming and creative movement. In addition to the basic school day, outdoor play, swimming lessons, gym time, Zumba, yoga, cooking class and music are important parts of the program for large motor skill development.

Children who attend the Riverbrook Regional Y Preschool Program must be full Child or full Family members of the Y. The Preschool Program follows the Wilton Public School calendar.
