2023/2024 Four-Year-Old Kindergarten

2023/2024 Four-Year-Old Kindergarten

In collaboration with area school districts, our Y provides 4K to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond with a focus on a child-centered, play-based curriculum. Lead staff are Department of Public Instruction (DPI)-certified teachers. All staff meet the Department of Children and Families (DCF) licensing requirements for educational qualifications. Requests and placement in our Y’s 4K program run through your area school district, and there is no cost to families to attend 4K when registered through your school district. Please refer to your school district’s calendar for dates when school is in session.

To help support families with competing priorities like work or school, the YMCA provides before and after school programming for 4K students, called wrap care, at most locations through our licensed preschool programs. 4K Wrap Care registration is a separate registration at ymcadane.org.

4K is offered in partnership with the following school districts at these locations:

  • Madison Metropolitan School District at the East and West YMCAs (4K Wrap Care available)
  • Sun Prairie School District at the Sun Prairie YMCA (4K Wrap Care available)
  • Verona Area School District at Stoner Prairie Elementary
