Focused on defined goals of passing the swim test

Whitney was a great spin instructor. I will highly recommend her class to anyone who is looking for a motivated coach. Wednesday evening at 6pm at the Marblehead location.

We love the swim program at the Y. Our son has been doing it for a couple years and is a great swimmer and loves his classes. The coaches are great and it is super close to home.

We absolutely love the YMCA! It has been such a wonderful community for our family, and we couldn’t be happier with the care our two children receive.
The staff is truly the best—they are professional, kind, and clearly dedicated to what they do. Our kids are genuinely excited to go every single day, and it is amazing to see how much they are learning and growing through the daily activities.
We want to give a huge special shout-out to Ms. Hailey, Ms. Skyla, Ms. Kaely, and Ms. Alisha!!! You all make such a positive impact on our children’s lives, and we are so grateful for everything you do.

Both our boys, Remy and Max LOVE the teachers and instructors at the Marblehead Y. It feels like family. Shout out to the caring and loving teachers, Mrs. Shayla, Mrs. Liz, Mrs. Charlene and Mrs. Lydia. They are the best of the best and we're grateful to have them teaching Remy and Max!

You are the best

The Early Learning program is fantastic. The teachers go out of their way to get to know each child even if they are not part of their classroom. The activities are age appropriate and educational while also being fun and engaging for the children.

Children are excited to go Y - each day is an adventure and the teachers make it so fun and engaging!

The swimming program and the holiday camps.

It's a wonderful place!

Por ese medio primeramente quiero agradecer al equipo entero que ha demostrado su dedicación al desarrollo y bienestar de todos los niños. Ese programa ofrece diferentes actividades educativas para integrar a los niños a socializar, leer, jugar y compartir. Como madre he visto un progreso enorme en todos los sentidos en la vida de mi hijo. Las maestras están preparando los niños para el kindergarten enseñando las letras, los números, los diferentes colores y muchos más. El está aprendiendo a nadar y conoce a todos sus compañeros de la escuela.
Me siento muy orgullosa y feliz de ver que mi hijo le encanta ir a su escuela en la mañana. Gracias por todo y que nuestro padre celestial le bendiga a todos.

Feliz día de las madres para todas

The water aerobic classes are great. I just started personal training with Michaela in the gym. She is doing a great job helping me on my health journey to build my strength after surgery.

We like the variety of programs and the wonderful teachers. We appreciate all the advocacy and support Ms. Hassania and Ms. Julie have given Catherine. They truly care about what is best for her and we couldn’t appreciate it more!

First and foremost - the people. The teachers in the Peach Room are among the best we have ever had the pleasure of working with. They take care of the kids in a loving and encouraging way while teaching them valuable life skills. I have complete trust in Julie & Hassania. I know they are giving their best to these kids, and my family every single day. My daughter also has great relationships with other teachers, and staff members. In addition to the incredible teachers and staff, the Y is also incredibly convenient for my family with the location and all the different programs they offer. In addition to The ELC Center, we also participate in after school programs, and summer camps. The location is great, the facilities are amazing, and they offer so many additional programs for kids enrolled at the ELC, they are learning life skills.

Good classes. Parking. Price is right

Great facilities and programs. Terrific staff.

We really appreciate how engaging and thought out the weeks are. They keep AJ excited to learn and participate each day. There is a good balance between structured learning and free play that feels just right for my toddler’s development and creativity. We’ve also noticed positive growth in his social skills, language, and overall confidence, which speaks to the nurturing and attentive environment he’s in.

Thank you for the patience, creativity and humor you bring to teaching our kids! You are helping them discover their strengths and be good humans. Harriet is more than ready for kindergarten but we will miss you all immensely!

I think the instruction is excellent, and I have appreciated the varied activities Maeve is exposed to, including swimming and gymnastics.

Ive enjoyed my timen there

Please be advised the purpose of this note is simply to acknowledge your office my family is extremely grateful for the service provided by the early Chitwood staffs and Management of the Swampscott/Marblehead YMCA. We value the progress we've seen. Upon entering the program our son was very shy and was unable neither in English nor in Spanish with his classmates or teachers. My oldest son also attended the program is also happy to see his little brother progress .He is more polite and most importantly enjoy to wake up in the morning simply to get ready to go to school. The teachers are true professional and care for the betterment of their students. My son was sick and had to take a week off. Mrs. Martinez the Headmaster of the program call us to check on Galvin which was really amazing.

Once again we greatly appreciate your team dedication for going above and beyond betterment of our lovely child early education.

We couldn’t be happier with this preschool program—10/10, highly recommend! I’ve now had two children go through the program, and every single day I’m grateful for the love, care, and genuine support the teachers show not just to my kids, but to our entire family.
The academic growth has far exceeded anything I could have imagined at this age, but what’s been even more meaningful is watching their sense of social responsibility and community blossom. It’s truly something special to see.
The daily communication, photos, and little stories they share are the highlight of my day and give me such comfort knowing my children are in such a nurturing, engaging environment. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community.

Great facilities. Friendly staff. Family friendly.
