“My daughter loves all her teachers, and we all love the community that the Y promotes. We are so grateful for all the support… we have received from the staff. I don't know what my family would have done without Kim Murphy and all the wonderful teachers. I am thankful every day that the Y is a part of our lives. – 2026 Freehold Preschool Family
Families appreciate the YMCA's focus on creating a safe, secure, and welcoming environment where children are known, valued, and encouraged every day. Convenient hours, full-time and part-time options, parent communication through Class Dojo, and enrichment opportunities like age-appropriate swim lessons make the program an excellent choice for busy families.
