Learn, Grow and Thrive Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA Preschool

preschool child running in the parkWelcome to the YMCA preschool at Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA.

The Y is the largest and oldest provider of youth development services in San Diego County, with a long history of providing a real, positive impact in the lives of children. We are dedicated to strengthening families as a community resource that nurtures the potential in children.

The YMCA preschool program is designed to support the growth and success of children cognitively, physically, emotionally and socially. Using developmentally appropriate materials, curriculum and activities in a play-based environment, your child will be supported in learning social skills, Kindergarten readiness skills and engage in physical activities. Additionally, here at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA Preschool, we offer dance and swimming lessons for an additional cost!

All of these activities help children learn helpfulness and kindness as an introduction to the four Core Values of the YMCA:

  • Caring
  • Responsibility
  • Respect
  • Honesty

Our programs are licensed by the state of California. Our excellent staff are background cleared through the Department of Justice and trained in CPR, First Aid and Child Abuse Prevention to ensure the safety of your child.
