HistoryThe YMCA began operating the Lealman YMCA Preschool Academy in January 2019. Since 1920, the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg has been effectively meeting the holistic needs of St. Petersburg's residents through programs developed in direct response to the ever-changing needs and realities of our community. Over the past century, our Y has developed a highly-effective, self-reflective planning model that ensures all proposed programs align with our mission, organizational capacity and the needs of our community.SpecialtiesWith so many demands on today's families and the increased focus on early development, families need all the support they can get to nurture the potential of their children. That's why YMCA Preschool Academies focus on holistically nurturing child development by providing a safe and healthy place to learn foundational skills. Our mission includes helping young children develop healthy relationships, and building self-reliance through the Y's values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. YMCA Preschool Academies offer state-licensed, full day childcare. At YMCA Preschool Academies, every day is a new opportunity to learn and discover. Our comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum covers ten areas of development and learning focused on enriching your child's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.
