Our very own Early Childhood educated and experienced staff maintain a commitment to provide opportunities for your child to experience a fun-filled week with hands-on materials, outdoor play and meeting new friends.

The Preschool Summer Adventures program takes place in the safety of our licensed preschool facility and outdoor play yard, facility #372005598.

Our Preschool Summer Adventures program maintains a ratio of 2 teachers to 14 children with a maximum of 14 children per class. All children must be fully potty trained and must show proof of all immunizations.

The YMCA of San Diego County is dedicated to improving the quality of human life and to helping all people realize their fullest potential as children of God through the development of the

spirit, mind and body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I drop-off and pick-up my child?

Preschool Summer Adventures & Extended Day takes place at the Y Preschool; you must dropoff and pick-up your child each day from the Preschool via the courtyard. Additionally, it is a state requirement that you sign your child in and out each day with their teacher. To avoid confusion with our school-aged Summer Camp Program, feel free to access the Preschool Summer Adventure Program via the South parking lot of the YMCA.

Full Day 8:00 am-3:30 pm (includes 1 hour rest time)

Half Day 8:30 am-12:30 pm

Preschool Extended Hours Drop-Off: 7:30 am-8:00 am Pick-Up: 3:30 pm-6:00 pm

Is snack and lunch provided?

We provide a healthy snack which includes two food groups and milk or water; once a day in the half day program and twice a day in the full day program. Parents are responsible for providing a healthy lunch each day for their child. Please note our preschool is peanut free.

Will my child have the opportunity to rest?

In accordance with State of California Licensing, if your child is in the full day program, they are required to have a one hour rest time. Your child will be provided a cot and parents are required to bring in a small crib sheet and blanket. Parents are encouraged to bring a book and cuddle item to keep at the preschool during the week.

Are YMCA staff allowed to babysit my child?

It is the policy of the YMCA that our staff does not accept babysitting assignments from families involved in YMCA programs.

What if I am late picking up my child?

A $1 per minute fee will be charged until your child is picked up from the program.

How do I get information on my child's schedule?

For your convenience, the Thursday before your child's adventure starts, an email of the daily schedule and what your child will need for success will be sent to the email address on file at the Y. Check with the Registration Desk to ensure your email is up to date. Extra copies of the schedule will also be available on the first day.
