YWCA ON University CHILDCARE

CHILDCARE & PRESCHOOL

Through the focused development of literacy and school readiness, we believe all children of Lubbock deserve the finest care and highest quality education. The YWCA offers twenty-eight early learning classrooms with the primary focus of preparing children for kindergarten and school readiness.

All our infant/toddler teachers have their CDA (Child Development Associates). All pre-school teachers have an Associates or Bachelor’s degree in Early Education and significant training in the special needs of early childhood and the impact of high-risk factors in the home and family. There is frequent interaction with parents and an emphasis on helping parents develop strategies to support each child’s specific needs. Our curriculum is the Frog Street Curriculum, a comprehensive pre-kindergarten curriculum. In conjunction with this, the classroom learning framework matches up with the Pre-K guidelines for the State of Texas. This includes:

  • Physical Development and Health
  • Social and Emotional Development
  • Approaches to Learning
  • Language Development
  • Literacy Knowledge and Skills
  • Mathematics Knowledge and Skills
  • English Language Development
  • Social Studies
  • Logic and Reasoning
  • Creative Arts Expression
  • Science Knowledge and Skills

OUR FACILITY

At the YWCA, we believe learning happens best through play, movement, and exploration. Our state-of-the-art facility is designed to support every aspect of a child’s development with unique spaces that set us apart. Children enjoy our indoor playground, outdoor playgrounds, and a seasonal splash pad for active fun in all kinds of weather. Our Action Based Learning (ABL) Lab encourages physical movement to boost brain development, while our dedicated LEGO room sparks creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. Every corner of our center is thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and joyful learning.

Praesidium Accreditation
