Need licensed childcare for your preschooler? YMCA Stepping Stones Childcare, located in the Betteravia Government Center, and the YMCA Young Children’s Preschool, located at 3400 Skyway Drive in Santa Maria, are now enrolling children ages 2 to 5 years old. The prerequisite is potty training.
The Stepping Stones center is a licensed and fully accredited facility where children can participate in hands-on activities and interactive play.
According to a press release from Stepping Stones, the program is “designed to further enhance their cognitive, social, emotional, physical, fine, and gross motor skills,” and helps them develop new relationships with other children, their families, and the teaching staff.
Financial assistance is available through the YMCA, in conjunction with Santa Barbara Foundation and Orfalea Foundation.
