Love the program!
Allow kids to learn, have fun and develop social skills close to home.
I prefer the camp at the actual Y over the one at Chocachatti. that one is not very put together and no one ever seems to know what’s going on but I still prefer the Y over any other programs
It is very convenient. The staff is very friendly.
He enjoys it.
Thank you for all you do.

The employees. They were great with my child and he absolutely loved all of the activities.
Feeling of inclusion for all. Caring staff. Fun activities.
I have never trusted my children with anyone except close family but the staff at Pine Grove Elementary (Weecare and School Age) are nothing short of amazing. I know my children are in good hands when I drop them off in the morning, their great passion and understanding for children going through different life/health situations does not go unnoticed. Thank you for all that you do!
The amazing teachers at the YMCA daycare and VPK at Central High School made such a difference in my son’s life while he was there. He started out rough, but they immediately picked up on his needs. They truly care for all of the kids there and it shows! My son did VPK with Mrs. Yulonda and came home every day excited to tell me all of the things he learned. I don’t know how she pulled it off but my son is like a whole new kid and excited to learn now. She also went out of her way to make the VPK graduation so special. We are going to miss all of them so much! I highly recommend this program.
Mrs. T is Awesome, she really cares about the kids, our child enjoys going to the Y program. And every9ne there is very friendly and helpful
The before and after school program is the best. My daught has enjoyed it so much she has asked to be dropped off early and leave late. She loves all of the Staff and especially enjoys the dance parties on Fridays.
My youngest cannot wait to go to school to be with her friends! She learned so much over the school year, and I know she is always safe a well protected. Staff is very dedicated and they truly love the children. Their hearts are really seen in the work they do.

Mr Johan..
They make everyday a good day for my child.
YMCA provided a safe place for my daughter. Ms. Jen is by far hands down, one of the best leaders I've met! If it wasn't for her, my daughter wouldn't have transitioned from one town to the next and a new school on top of that if it weren't for her and this program! We are so sad to be leaving! But she walks away strong, proud of who she is, head held high, always kind to others because of YMCA! We can't thank you enough!
Loveee them and how much my son has learned & overcame just going here

The director Mrs. Jen is phenomenal. I can’t put into words how amazing she is with the children. If I could keep my child in her program forever I would! A+++
The YMCA program has been helpful to my family now for six years. They've provided not only care for my child(dren) but also educational and social experience for them. They love their teachers at the Eagle Nest. If I could I would give them an abundance of gifts for the gratitude I have for them. I can't say thank you enough.
My daughter loves her time at the YMCA programs. The counselors are always helpful and understanding. I will continue to sign my child up for YMCA programs and I recommend it to other parents!
