Our licensed Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten Readiness programs provide children with developmentally appropriate experiences in a hands-on discovery environment — one that encourages children to explore, examine, and solve problems while building the confidence and skills they’ll carry into kindergarten and beyond. Apple Creek YMCA and Neenah-Menasha YMCA offer wrap care for their preschool and pre-k programs. All programs are state-licensed and staffed by trained, caring youth development professionals.
As state-licensed programs, all Y Preschool, Pre-K Readiness, and Wrap-Around programs require a completed child profile prior to registration. The profile collects required licensing information including immunization records, physician contact details, and emergency contacts. Plan for 25–35 minutes to complete it, and save your work frequently. You will not be able to register until all profile questions are complete — we recommend finishing it before registration day so you can register the moment spots open at 6:00 AM.
How to Complete Your Child’s Profile
Log in to your online YMCA account. Click “View Account” from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner. Navigate to the Membership box on the left side of your screen, then click the edit pencil next to your child’s name. Enter the requested information into each field, clicking Save Changes at the bottom frequently. The profile can be updated at any time, and information is stored for future registrations.
Our Preschool and Pre-K programs vary by location. Here’s a quick overview of what each YMCA offers.

Our preschool programs are more than academic preparation — they provide every child with a safe, supportive environment to learn, grow, and build confidence through play-based discovery. Through the Y’s Membership for All assistance program, we also work to ensure quality early learning remains accessible for families who qualify, because every child deserves a strong foundation for the future.
If applying for assistance at a licensed childcare site, please apply to the County/Wisconsin Shares program prior to applying for Membership For All through the Y.
Preschool programs serve children ages 3–5 depending on location. Pre-K Readiness programs are for children ages 4–5.
