Member Testimonials

We love Mrs. Phillips she is caring and dedicated.

Mr. Devon, Ms. Chelsea, and the rest of the crew are awesome. They are so loving, so patient, and enforce good behavior at the same time.

Ms. Nikki was really good about making sure activities were varied and students were regularly celebrated. I appreciate that she organized special activities on early dismissal days and invited parents to fun events with the kids. My son loved going to the Y before and after care. He loves the staff, especially Ms Bailey and Ms. Nikki.

I wish there was enough staff to really monitor and help the kids during homework time.

Great counselors, good activities, affordable price

My kids love going to the Y before school. They have been going there for several years now and love everyone that works there. The people that work at the Y know my children and I trust them wholeheartedly. Red Pump is lucky to have this program for students and we as parents are blessed to have them to care for our children day in and day out.

Cheryl is wonderful. My daughter enjoys being at the Y.

Affordable, friendly and knowledgeable staff, lots of activities. Great with kids!

I love the before school care at my sons school. The Y coordinator there really cares about the kids. She doesn't just sit there and watch the kids, she engages with them. She provides supplies for them to do lots of different activities including crafts. She gets to know them well so she is able to notice little things like when your child may be struggling with something and is quick to check-in with family. I absolutely recommend the program, especially if you have Ms. Cheryl!

Please continue to keep Ms Faith and Ms Tori at Meadowvale. My kid loves interacting and learning from both of them!

We love our Y teachers! Erica and Kiersten are fantastic; they provide a fun, safe, structured environment for our son (and the other children). They do such a wonderful job making the before and after school time enjoyable.

The Director, Karen, is wonderful. She is great about communicating with parents. The other teachers are really good with the kids. There are multiple activities the kids can engage in, including physical activity.

The staff is great! My grandaughter is moving on to 6th grade and we will miss the Y aftercare at Red Pump Elementary. Miss Barb is very caring and does a great job with the kids!

Always a good one.

The teachers were hands on, very engaged with the children. The activities were fun even my 5th grader enjoyed them

My daughter has fun and is well care for at the Before and After Care program. The staff is amazing and always goes above and beyond to create a fun and educational environment.

It is a welcoming environment and convenient way for families who need childcare earlier than the designated elementary start-time. I appreciate the flexibility of various options for care and utilized AM only, but on a few occasions when we needed PM care, the customer service office was accommodating and able to charge a daily rate.

Caring teachers who promote core values in all aspects of the Y program! My child loves going!

All staff are very professional and pleasant. I frequently see them working with individual students on their homework or projects. Ms. Phillips is very good and knowledgeable with children. My children love her; even my middle schooler goes to Y with me just to say hi to her. Overall it is good.

The staff are amazing!!!
They encourage and care about the kids.
The kids have a great time, and above all- they are safe!

We have been using Y services since Kindergarten.
The individuals who care for the children in their before and after program and amazing.

The before and after school program has been wonderful for my boys. The ease of dropping them at school and knowing the are safe, properly kept busy without technology and well cared for puts our minds at ease

Plenty of activities, a caring staff. We have had a wonderful experience with the Y

Mr. T and the YMCA HdG staff are incredible! It has been an amazing experience having our daughter attend the program. They are fun, attentive, and work hard to ensure a positive experience for the kids. I cannot recommend this program enough!

The Riverside staff is phenomenal and Mr Jack is incredible. The program has had a huge positive impact on our child.

I can get to work on time because the before care program allows me to drop my children off at 7am.

Ms. Erica and Ms. Kirsten are wonderful with the kids.

The program has been wonderful for our family this year. Ms. Patrice and Mr. Brandon were welcoming from the first day and made my kindergartener feel comfortable coming to school every day. Communication has been extensive throughout the year and activities have been fun and engaging.

it was easy to sign up, easy to deal with. The group running the program were informative, professional, and just great to deal with. Never had any issues. Very accommodating and helpful

The staff has been extremely welcoming and helpful. The staff always greats us and have treated our daughter amazingly!

Site coordinator (Phillips Hornbuckle) is excellent. Very organized, engaged with kids to teach them values while still having fun and building trust.

This program is so important for my husband and I to be able to get to work on time and trust that our kids are well cared for before/after school. We are both so grateful that it is available and we feel like it is also beneficial for them to get time to be outside, play with friends, and learn about giving back to the community.
