Community driven and very organized.
Our son loves attending the program. Mrs. Lisa is amazing!
Great environment and program for children!
Coaches are amazing and my son has a great time!
My son loved it, learned great skills in a short amount of time and still asks to go back!
Because my child likes her counselors. It’s an overall safe environment with proper protocols in place. They also maintain discipline.
Convenient
Ms. Sheila & Ms. Maria are the BEST! I have three children in the program and it has been wonderful. They get homework done, play, learn valuable lessons from them and are very well taken care of and loved
We love ymca and ms Claudia.
Great programs, great staff.
Time to update the furniture in the frount. Its in sad shape and gives a bad impression.
I would recommend south tampa ymca to anyone because Anne Jeffrey is the best!
My kid loves her after school. Staff are friendly. I love the fact that she doesn't need to use the bus and it's in the school.
Convenient
they are super friendly and caring for my child. they have great wonderful activities and encourage outside play
The care my son receives is excellent, the space is safe, the care staff and caregivers have human qualities, are kind and respectful, Ms. Claudia (After School Essrig Elementary) always greets parents with a smile.
My daughter is in her second year attending the Carrollwood K-8 YMCA latchkey program and she loves it, and so do I. Zeke is wonderful with both kids and parents and always recognizes my car when I drive up, saving me time by calling up my daughter as soon as I arrive. My daughter feels safe there and has made lots of friends.
Zeke is great. You can tell he truly cares about the kids. He remembers the parents names and what parents are with each child. My child always has good things to say about aftercare
Ms. Claudia is awesome. She always greets us with a smile. My son enjoys his time in the afterschool program at Essrig elementary
The most important thing is that the child enjoys it. Thank you always. I feel like I’m being managed even better this semester. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.
We couldn’t be happier with our after care experience. Mrs. Claudia truly goes above and beyond for the kids — her commitment, patience, and genuine care show every single day. She’s dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where the children feel supported and excited to learn. It’s clear she loves what she does, and we’re so grateful for all the time and heart she puts into making each day special.
They’re great! They take wonderful care of the kids & the parents. I’m happy to have my girls here
Great staff! They are doing a wonderful job of keeping the kids engaged in activities. They maintain orderliness.
Great staff
My kids have a lot of fun and feel safe!
I just really appreciate having a consistent sport for my daughter to participate in. She is too reserved to try out for a school sport and being able to play at the YMCA is helping encourage her to be active, do a team sport, and it is building her confidence. I couldn't be happier!
I was very impressed with the basketball this season. The head coach showed so much patience and was so organized that it kept all the kids invested and involved. All the assistant coaches were amazing as well. I will definitely be returning for the next season and I have told many other families about our wonderful experience. The pizza party at the end was such an awesome way to finish the season. Well done!!!!
The kids have fun!

Ms Kyra keeps me informed and updated about my children. I feel they are safe and protected in her care.
