The most outstanding quality of St. Luke Preschool is its highly qualified teaching staff. Many of the teachers have advanced degrees and extensive experience. The classrooms are state-of-the art early childhood design. They have natural light and bathroom(s), , and multiple learning centers which support our curriculum as well as our nurturing environment. The children attend Chapel every month and can enroll in enrichment classes. There is an opportunity to enjoy our spacious, fully enclosed playground every day.

We recognize that each child is an individual: that all children are creative and that all children need to succeed. We stress the total development of each child: spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.

At the GLOW YMCA we license our School Age Child Care (SACC) programs through New York State's Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS).  Licensing our SACC programs through NYS ensures that the following standards are met:

• Parent Involvement: Parents are the key to quality child care and have the right to visit the program at any time to observe or visit their child.
• Adult-Child Ratios: Stricit regulations are used to assure that your child is properly supervised and receives the attention they deserve.
• Training & Experience: All staff are required to have previous child care experience and must receive ongoing training in 9 topic ares including nutrition, child abuse prevention and program development.
• Inspections: Licensed child care programs must be inspected at least once before renewal (every 2 years).
• Complaints: The NYS OCFS maintains a statewide, toll free Child Care Complaint Line at 1-800=732-5207. 

The YMCA has been long standing as the nations largest child care provider.  As part of the YMCA Mission to "Build Strong Kids, Strong Families, and Strong Communities", we incorporate Character Development into our programs by following the YMCA's four core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.
