Lynn Y Academy Child Care

The Y Academy Early Learning Program in Lynn delivers high-quality early education and care for children 2.9 years old to age 5. All activities focus on the development of the whole child with a concentration on gross and fine motor skills.

Our preschool program will help your young child learn the essential intellectual building blocks for future academic success and prepare for kindergarten. A typical day includes independent and group activities, STEAM curriculum, and sensory play as well as plenty of physical activity to develop healthy habits.

We embrace a family-centered philosophy encouraging family interaction and regular visits with teachers to discuss your child’s development. We look forward to becoming part of your extended family and believe that children learn best when caretakers are involved in their educational success.

Our Early Learning programs are fully licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Early Education and have received NAEYC (National Association for Education of Young Children) accreditation.

The Lynn Y Academy Early Learning Program for Preschoolers delivers high quality early education and care to support children’s development cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically. Our program provides each child a warm and supportive environment where they can confidently learn, grow, and thrive.
