The values and skills learned in our youth programs serve as building blocks for life. Because of the Y, more young people in neighborhoods around the nation are taking a greater interest in learning and making smarter life choices.
Happy Kids Preschool
Building strong kids starts here!
The YMCA Happy Kids Preschool is the leading provider of quality learning for children 2 to 5 years old in Raleigh County. The program offers half-day or full-day schooling provided by certified, professionally trained staff with a full curriculum of academics and activities planned throughout the school year including the very popular swim program.

“My children love the YMCA Happy Kids Preschool! They have had a number of awesome experiences: swimming at the YMCA, visiting the Pumpkin Patch, and the pajama party at the Preschool- just to name a few! They are learning their letters, numbers, and making friends as well. Sending our twins to the YMCA Preschool is one of the best decisions we have made for them so far!”

“As a parents the first thing you need to know when sending your child to school is that they will be safe. I always knew that my daughter would be kept safe at Happy Kids and when she was swimming, at the playground, or on an outing. I always had a piece of mind that she was in a safe and positive learning environment at Happy Kids. My daughter has spent 2 years at Happy Kids and she has not only been taught all the basic foundations for kindergarten, she can tell us which planet is shining the brightest in the night sky, she has learned to swim, and she has made friendships that will continue. Thank you Happy Kids Preschool!”
