The YWCA Ulster County was established in 1923 in response to the growing social, recreational, housing, and health needs of women moving into the City of Kingston from surrounding rural areas. Nearly 65 years earlier, women in the City of Boston had spoken passionately about their dreams for dignity and freedom and boldly took steps to create the first YWCA in their city in 1859. Energized by their common values, these Boston-based leaders produced programs that focused on: equality in health care services, sex education, and childcare services. YWCA Ulster County continues to take a leadership role in not only the delivery of services but also, in the advocacy of issues that affect the lives of women and their families.
We enrolled my son in their preschool program this year and we couldn’t be happier for him. He is thriving socially, linguistically, and emotionally. His teachers work so hard to create engaging and play-based lessons (they made apple pies last week!) and communicate well with us. We highly recommend this school!

Great preK program. Our son is doing really well in it and enjoys hanging out with the other kids and likes the teachers.
