Great people

Our daughter recently completed her first year with NSE Cheer and we have nothing but good things to say about the program. The coaches, the support staff, the facilities, the competitions - it was all so well organized, and well run. We recommend the program to anyone who asks and are looking forward to next season!

Beautiful facilities, very friendly staff, and overall a great value for members of the North Shore YMCA network.

Clean friendly variety of programs. Personal training

Staff, classes, constantly updating equipment, & facilities. Overall approach to health and wellbeing.

The activities are creative, educational, and fun, helping the kids learn while enjoying themselves. I also appreciate the positive environment, the communication with families, and the dedication the staff shows every day to make each child feel safe, supported, and included.

There is every type of exercise equipment available, in addition to pickleball, yoga. Pilates and swimming.

Something for every sge

Dear Allie and Tamara,

There truly aren’t enough words to thank you both for the magic you create every single day in your classroom. The creativity, patience, thoughtfulness and joy you pour into these little humans is something so special to witness as a parent.

You somehow manage to make learning feel like magical adventure, kindness feel cool and everyday moments feel exciting and meaningful … you both honestly deserve a gold medal🏅😉!

Beyond the crafts, songs, stories and playtime, you’re teaching these littles how to be kind, curious, prepared and confident people. Those lessons matter more than anything♥️

I feel incredibly lucky not only that Tucker has you as teachers, but that I also get to call you my friends. Thank you for loving all these kiddos, for giving so much of yourselves and for making this season of childhood feel so joyful and magical.

We adore you both more than you know.

Love,

First name removed, Mark, Jack and Tucker

A special Thank you, Shea and Melanie, for being so kind and patient with Ezra. Starting daycare was a big transition for him, and seeing how much he’s already opening up says so much about the environment you’ve created. It really gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. You guys are the best!

Ms Haily and Ms Thalia - thank you for being so caring and dedicated each and every day. You have both been such a positive addition to our "village" and we appreciate you so much.
Love Eero and family

We love the YMCA for the attentiveness and compassion the staff has shown us, the inclusive programs and interventions to support our kids, and the safety I feel when leaving my children in the care of the YMCA staff.

The staff is informative and oh so friendly.
I was trying to increase the resistance on a bike and one of the women noticed and came over to help without me even looking up!

We absolutely love Miss Mary and Miss Gabby. Frankie runs into school everyday and has such a special relationship with her teachers. They have fostered wonderful growth in Frankie, teaching her so many new skills, songs, and an ever growing vocabulary. Y’all are THE BEST!

Pool

We love Miss Savannah & Miss Cheyenne!

We love all the specials that Charlie and his classmates get to participate in - he loves gymnastics and swimming! He is always excited to tell us what he did that day.

When we drop Charlie off, everyone knows him by name, and is happy to see him, which creates such a welcoming and warm tone.

We love our TEACHERS!!! Miss Kim and Miss Jocelyn have the most calming and nurturing presence. Our son really turned a corner in their class. He has taken on more responsibility with his daily routine, is excited to go to school, and loves to share all the things he learns in class. The Emerald room is THE BEST, and we are so grateful to be at The YMCA ELC, the entire staff greets us with kindness and love every day.

We love that our preschooler has access to the gymnastics room, pool, and gymnasium for sports through the week. This focus on diverse physical growth has fostered a confidence and adeptness to these sports in a way that would likely be impossible by just attending at nights and weekends.

That they stay busy with a variety of activities, my daughter loves gymnastics, swim and adventures outside

The teachers are so so sweet! It’s very safe and you feel so comfortable dropping off your child here. The doors are locked, there is always a friendly face in the office. It truly is a special place!

Lee makes exercising fun!

Cleaning and organized

Beverly is a great location. The temp is always great, it’s clean, has everything I need.

Everyone is beyond friendly. Instructors are great, especially Valian and Lee. I am thrilled I came to the Y.

The program and activities were very welcoming.

We love how our son is trying different activities and sports and learning how to interact with his friends and understand social norms. He is encouraged to simply be himself and follow his own growth path.

Miss Jocelyn and Miss Kim are supportive and caring, Ellis loves coming to school and sharing his treasures from outdoor adventures. Ellis has grown so much with their guidance!
