This YMCA it’s great
My daughter loves latchkey at Carrollwood K8!
My son is on the spectrum and has had trouble in other programs. The staff at Ippolito aftercare are wonderful
My kids love it here
Muy bueno el programa los profesores estupendo mis claudia la mejor todo perfecto gracias
This would be a 10 out of 10 if everybody was as great as Ms. Jessalyn. She is absolutely incredible and my son really enjoys his time with her. She is so kind and understanding and always willing to take feedback. Both my son and I feel very heard. She is what makes this program great, 100%! The other team member id like to highlight is Jordan from the mornings. He is great and always has a nice and calming attitude especially with how hectic morning drop offs can be. I know my son starts his day off well.
Certain team members though are very opposite from those mentioned and I notice my son has tougher days when I see them when I pick him up. I have brought it up to Ms. Jessalyn and she is definitely making sure we are heard and she does a great job leading the way.
Thank you!
My son has the best time at Gorrie BASE YMCA program. He talks about how much fun he has and begs to stay late. For two working parents, it’s a huge relief to know he’s so well cared for.
It is great.

Clean facilities and the friendly staff make it a great place to workout
Ms. Ahlam and her team are doing an amazing job!
Not only does my daughter love the YMCA crew she talks about how much fun she has with them. When needed she gets assisted in homework and she just absolutely adores Miss Jess. I have had a very pleasant encounter with each of the caretakers who've released my daughter and I feel that is rare nowadays. Usually you run into at least one person who just isn't that friendly and I am so grateful that's not the case here!
We need to recognize Ms Danielle and her incredible team at the YMCA program at Grady elementary. Their patience, professionalism, and care for our kids truly goes above and beyond every single day. They do an amazing job staying organized, rewarding positive behavior and modeling the ultimate composure, calmness in all types of situations. It is clear how much she cares about each of the children here. My kids always look forward to their time at the YMCA after their day at school is done - that alone speaks volumes. As the parent, I also love picking them up with smiles on their faces. Thank you Ms Danielle and team for creating such a nurturing, structured and positive environment for our children. We truly appreciate you more than words can say!
We appreciate you all for all y’all do and want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
I enjoy the variety of classes offered at this location. Your staff is friendly and your instructors are skilled and offer beneficial classes.
The fact that it's on campus, so there is no need for my son to travel for after school program. Also, the staff are great and my son feels safe.

It is a great program and I highly recommend
