2024/2025 Four-Year-Old Kindergarten

2024/2025 Four-Year-Old Kindergarten

Requests and placement in our Four-Year-Old Kindergarten program are administered by area school districts, and there is no cost to families when you register your child(ren) through your local district.

The YMCA collaborates with area school districts to provide 4K programs that prepare children for kindergarten and beyond, focusing on a child-centered, play-based curriculum. Lead staff are Department of Public Instruction (DPI)-certified teachers.

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. 4K Wrap Care registration is a separate registration, and fees are associated with this program.

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 Area School District at the Sun Prairie YMCA (4K Wrap Care available)
  • Verona Area School District at Stoner Prairie Elementary

Requests and placement in our Four-Year-Old Kindergarten program are administered by area school districts, and there is no cost to families when you register your child(ren) through your local district.

Once you register you child, we will work with you and the school district for proper classroom placement.

If you need wrap care for your child (before and after this program), a separate registration for that fee-based program is required.
