Special services for children 2-4

The Kings Bay YM-YWHA Preschool is proudly inclusive and welcomes children with special needs (ages 2 – 4) who receive services through Early Intervention or the CPSE (Committee on Preschool Special Education).  Several of our children receive itinerant services including SEIT, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech.
