Knowing that my grandson is safe, learning and having fun is wonderful. Many days when I pick him up, he is not ready to go home, and wants to stay!
I love that before and after care are at the school instead of another location! It’s very convenient!
The YMCA is inclusive to all! My children enjoy the before and after school programs and learn life long skills while also building lifelong friendships.
We love the before and after care program. Everyone who works there is so helpful and patient with our children. Thank you for all you do.
My grandson loves his after school program at Rock Crusher Elementary School. He never wants to come home! I know he is safe and so grateful that he is well taken care of.
My son loves the people that staff and the fun fridays.
Also I love knowing that there is a safe affordable place from my son to be before school while his father and I both work.
the fact that my kids are safe until i get out of work.
We love Ms. Michelle and Ms. Jayme. They are very friendly no matter what is going on. They relay important information and keep the kids in line in a professional and respectful way. You can tell they genuinely care about each child and my son is excited to go to the Y every day.
The staff are amazing. They constantly encourage the children and do fun activities with them to keep them active mentally and physically.
My child goes to Central Ridge before and after school and out of all the years we have attended this is by far the best. It has definitely become more structured and my child now looks forward to going.
My grandson loves going to "His" YMCA before and after school. That is the most important. The structure of the program is wonderful, and knowing my grandson is in a safe environment is priceless.
Thank you!
All the Y personnel are very cordial and take very good care of the children
After care program
My daughter First name removed feels comfortable attending the YMCA before school program.
I love that they do activities and make it fun for the kids, and not to mention the amazing staff, always so helpful and nice.
The summer camp was wonderful and my daughter that’s 10 years old throughly enjoyed! The program was fun and she loved all the arts/crafts and swimming days!
My only comment is to please try to plan how to accommodate for the last week of summer break since the Y building in Lecanto has such a limited capacity. It’s very tough for parents to scramble to find care when when never contacted about the wait list. I had to call in and ask several times to ask and got several run around answers until the final week when I was told my daughter didn’t make it off the wait list.

They are great with keeping the kids engaged in activities throughout the day.
