The YMCA All Day Kindergarten occupies four spacious rooms on the 2nd floor of KinderHouse, located at 16 Wallace Street, Wallingford, CT.  An enclosed playground, picnic tables and playscape provide a safe, outdoor area.  The Wallingford YMCA was first to venture in operating a full day Kindergarten Program in the Wallingford Community and is 15 years young.

Academic Program runs from 9:00AM-3:00PM. Extended Day hours meet the needs of working parents for both before and after school care, 6:45AM-9:00AM and/or 3:00PM-6:00PM.

The All Day Kindergarten aims to meet the developmental needs of each child.  Scheduling, pacing and rhythm of each activity are consistent with recognized principles of childhood education.  These principles recognize that each child develops at his own unique rate within the general needs of his or her age group. The All Day Kindergarten provides creative opportunities and experiences which stimulate a child’s physical, social, intellectual and emotional development.

Students benefit from small class size, 1:1 instruction and the presence of two teachers daily.  Handwriting, phonics, math, science, social studies and reading are part our daily lessons.

Enrichment programs include Reach for the Stars Reading Program, PAF (Preventing Academic Failure), Computer Tots computer classes, field trips, swim lessons, art, music, physical education, and free swim.

The YMCA believes that activities which involve the parents in their child’s development should be included in Kindergarten. Activities to strengthen the family unit will give families, students and teachers the chance to work, play and learn together.
