Preschool Fort Mill Complex 2026/2027

Preschool at the Fort Mill YMCA Complex was established in the fall of 1983, and we are proud to be celebrating over 40 years of creating smiles and meaningful learning experiences for children in the Fort Mill, Indian Land, and Charlotte communities.

Your child will benefit from the expertise of our caring, qualified staff, who are educated and experienced in working with young children. Each day is designed to be safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate, encouraging creativity, curiosity, education and growth.

We are an indoor preschool with a nature based philosophy, offering both indoor and outdoor learning opportunities. While much of the day is spent in the classroom enjoying purposeful indoor learning, children also experience the many benefits of being outdoors. Our outdoor spaces include an outdoor classroom, a hiking trail, and a playground, providing enriching hands-on experiences that support exploration and discovery.

We are dedicated to making each day stimulating and challenging while meeting the individual needs of every child. We proudly welcome all families and believe that the inclusion of families from diverse ethnicities, cultures, abilities, and family structures enriches our program and enhances the lives of the children who learn and grow together here.
