Member Testimonials
I highly recommend the Y Preschool because my son has attended since he was six months old. During his time there, he has developed strong reading skills, learned how to interact positively with other children, and gained confidence in a structured learning environment. The teachers have provided a caring and supportive atmosphere that has helped prepare him both academically and socially for kindergarten. I truly appreciate the positive impact the Y Preschool has had on his growth and development.
We love all the kind teachers at preschool who make our daughter feel safe and loved.
They are a close-knit community with a wonderful director who is always smiling and warmly greeting everyone as they enter the building. I love their playground because it is spacious and provides plenty of room for the children to play, explore, and learn. I also appreciate the positive way the staff interacts with both the children and their families, creating a welcoming, supportive, and caring environment.

Truly the best preschool experience we’ve ever experienced! The teachers are all wonderful and genuinely care about the kids. My son loved his time as a Chipmunk!
Our daughter has been in after-school care since she started kindergarten this year. She had a great experience.
We love our preschool family! My son's are happy and safe, I know their teachers are extremely caring, and the leadership is amazing. I appreciate all the hard work they put in to making the experience special for all the kids, graduation, fall fest, in house field trips, trunk or treat. I hope we can partner more with Orokawa and have a FISH pool party this year!
Resources, staff, teachers, content, EVERYTHING!
They are very nice, caring people. Makes me feel like I’m leaving my daughter with family. Would recommend to everyone that has children 2-5.
From the teachers to the amazing director, communication is always clear and timely. My child is excited to go to school, learns so much, and has a wonderful time.
Great experience love the associates! Consider having registration on a day when customer service is open and it is not a holiday, it would be less stressful for all!
The teachers are kind a knowledgeable, the administration is amazingly compassionate. My son's feel safe and loved at the Towson Preschool. Families are involved and there are looks of fun seasonal and community building activities!
Super friendly staff :)
The staff is so friendly and welcome, my child feels safe and important and it is clean and well maintained. We like the possibility of flexible schedules and the swift pick up and drop off process
The teachers have done an awesome job with my son that has a speech delay.
We really like how everyone works with the children.
The community and commitment to the care of each family is unmatched!
My little one is very happy and has thrived as a whole person from day one. The teachers are very supportive and have aligned the program with some of the best practices in childcare today. They seem to refine their approach everyday. they are very responsive to the individual needs of my little one. I love how my little one has all these tools he can reach for to deal with BIG emotions. He has learned so much about navigating multiple friendships, and how to move one from one room to the next. The Y Preschool has really been a place where my little one has blossomed over the years!
My children have a had a great time at the Betty Sterner preschool. My son entered Kindergarten 100% ready and I know my daughter will do the same next year. She loves going to school and seeing the wonderful teachers and great friends!
Chipmunks is wonderful.
We absolutely love the Y preschool. Mr. Bob and Ms. Vonda are the dream team. All of our teachers have been wonderful. We can drop our daughter off each morning knowing she is in great hands. :)
As a public school teacher, I am impressed with the quality of care my son receives at the Y in Finksburg. Kudos to Ms. Shike and Ms. Herb for making the transition into the 2s class as smooth as possible! My son loves school!
Chipmunks is fantastic! My boys love it
My kids/ family love it at Chipmunks and the Y. We couldn't recommend it more. The teachers and staff are amazing.
Teachers are fantastic, communication is timely and accurate, Director is wonderful!
Love the pre-school/daycare. EVERYONE is so friendly, kind, nurturing, sweet and fun. It feels very safe, it's very flexible, and it's affordable/accommodating. The meal plan/snacks are a BIG BONUS! Such a stress relief for parents to not have to think about packing lunches or snacks. Pick-ups and drop-offs are very smooth. Safety and efficiency are implemented very well.
The staff is very friendly!
Our son loves the pre-school thus far and the staff have been extremely helpful and friendly!
The leadership team are wonderful to work with, they always keep parents informed of things happening around the preschool. The teachers are fantastic with our daughter.

My son's love their Preschool experience! I know the associates care deeply for my child and I know they are happy and safe. Leadership is communicative and go above and beyond to support out family. I hope there will continue to be opportunities for us to be more connected with other families and the family centers.
