Member Testimonials
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.
The staff is extremely attentive and caring. I am so pleased with my family’s decision to join the Y Preschool for our youngest son’s early education experience! Ms. Celina, Ms. Robyn, Ms. Heather, Ms. Sandy, Ms. Shea, and the rest of the staff are the best!
Friendly and helpful staff! Very clean and well taken care of!
We love how enthusiastic and supportive the staff have been, from encouraging potty training to selecting and putting away their own books. Both of our sons are thoroughly enjoying their first week of school. They are full of stories about their day and eager to go back each morning. Pictures and documentation of their daily activities, learning, and fun are so reassuring to see and communication home is clear, organized and upbeat. We would absolutely recommend to other parents!
This week my son went for summer camp at the y chipmunks preschool, he had such a good time. The teachers are amazing. My son has some disabilities and the teacher made it a wonderful week for him and working with him. The teachers have a lot of patience and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you guys for making this week a wonderful experience for us. Thank you again.

Chipmunks Preschool is wonderful. My child has grown leaps and bounds in this environment. It's a perfect mix of learning, play, and nurturing.

Our son Matthew has grown so much in the short time he's been with the y preschool. We know he's well cared for and loved by the staff.
I like that my child is learning something new always. I appreciate how from the director to the teachers everyone communicates with the parents. I also love the fact that tadpoles give parents a look inside the classroom to see exactly what our child has done for the day.
The Y Preschool is amazing in every way.
Great experience! They treat the children like their own. I really appreciate MS.QUETTA, Ms Michika and Ms. Alexius . They’re the most sweetest, caring genuine people i came across.I go to work comfortable everyday knowing she’s in the best care.
