YWCA preschool

LEWISTON — The YWCA of Central Maine has openings for preschool children ages 2 1/2 to 5 years old.

The trained and compassionate staff engage preschool children in creative learning, whether it is a circle time with the calendar, reading books, counting or concentrating on teacher designed activities or projects. The Y also offers lots of recreational time with swim lessons and fun-time splash in their pool, outside play time and a chance to run and play games in the gym.

There are full time spots available for $128 to $133 per week or alternative part-time options for those looking for less expensive or social opportunities for a child.
