Jordan YMCA's Grant Impact

Grantee: Jordan YMCA

Amount of the Grant: $10,000

How The Grant Was Used: During the 2022-2023 Preschool year, the Jordan YMCA provided 67 students (41 half-day and 26 full-day) the skills to prepare for kindergarten; 31% of those children received financial assistance to attend. Over $25,000 was awarded in preschool financial assistance.

The Jordan Y utilizes the rigorously researched Creative Curriculum, which balances teacher planned and child-initiated learning for ages 2-5 years. Research has shown that children reap long-term educational and social benefits from quality preschool. While the comprehensive curriculum focuses on many important areas of education such as literacy, social studies, and the arts, it has an equal focus on STEM learning and activities.
