Emily Price Jones Head Start Y of Central Maryland

The Y is a charitable organization in Central Maryland dedicated to developing the full potential of every individual through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Y Preschool is a trusted program that has provided educational and developmental support to children and families for over 160 years. Our program combines a safe and happy educational environment with a curriculum designed to stimulate intellectual, emotional, and physical growth; all with the focus of preparing children for kindergarten and beyond... Y Before & After School Enrichment gives children a fun, heathly balance to the school day where they have lots of choices and opportunities to discover new talents and interests. Children go home happy, ready to rest and prepared for the next day, while parents enjoy peace of mind and comfort that's invaluable! iDiscover strikes a healthy balance of exercise, fun and age-appropriate enrichment choices to complement a rigorous school day. Our program includes 30 minutes of exercise everyday (who better than the Y?!) through physical play and Fit-n-Fun; nutrition information, healthy snacks, stationary "field trips" with special guests like film groups, chefs and more. Thirty minutes of daily homework support is also provided so children can get an early start on homework while lessons are still fresh in their minds. Y staff are there to help if needed.
