The goal of the Tiny Tots program at CYA is to prepare children, ages 4 and 5, for kindergarten--socially and academically. The program focuses on:

•  Reading readiness

•  Coordination and fine motor skills

•  Social Skills

Children develop reading readiness through story time and story telling.

Motor skills are developed through exercise and play.

Social skills are developed by classroom experience and practices which emphasize courtesy to others.

The Tiny Tots program at CYA has been directed by Mrs. Gretchen Stiehl for over two decades. Her impact on children has been remarkable. In fact, the Tiny Tots is now enrolling the children of program "graduates." Parents are enrolling a second generation of kids in the Tiny Tots program because they want their children to have a healthy start in life--the same healthy start that they got at CYA.

Since seeing is believing, we encourage parents to visit CYA and observe. All preschool programs are not the same. To schedule an observation, please call us at 412-621-3342.
