Great director. Kids always want to stay longer.
Great activities
Reliable, convenient, nurturing.
My granddaughter loves it! She feels safe,l and has so much fun. That makes all the difference in the world!
Great job coordinating with parents to help students who are struggling. They go above and beyond for the students in their program!
The no electronics part while they interact with friends. We like it because in Weaverville you have all that big outdoor space but also the trailer and the gym for rainy/cold/hot days.
As a suggestion, ask them what sports or activities are they into and try to create balanced teams to do those activities a bit more competitive. Make a list of what each of them likes and then make a weekly theme (or daily, or monthly how you want). For example basketball, soccer, drama, jumping ropes, for rainy days, sewing, drawing, melty beeds. Last year the coynselors got a baseball set and that was great, the kids were very excited. Unfortunately it got broken quickly and never replaced
Professional and friendly staff
My kids have a lot of fun and the staff is great. I love that you take the kids on field trips and do different activities on site. And I so appreciated that the program opened up for full day care when schools were closed after the hurricane, it was an incredible service to the community.

Lake and Anna at the Hall Creek Elementary facility are absolutely the best. My daughter loves going to the aftercare program and connecting with both of them on a daily basis. Thank you Anna and Lake are truly remarkable people.
Staff is fantastic. Price is better than most. Locaiis where I need it.
Your teachers and leads are great at the Haw Creek site and I can trust my son is supported and looked after. I appreciate having school closing days covered as well. Overall my son has been very happy with the after school program.
We love all the outdoor time the kids get. Would love to see a revival of clubs like athletic club for more kid interaction.
Being that I’m a single mom and my son is now in grade school, having YMCA after school has been the BEST program I’ve experienced! I’m able to work holidays I wasn’t able to when he was in daycare. My son also loves the program and has made great friends outside of class and loves the staff as well! I love you guys myself! Thank you!!!
love the outdoor play areas. the mood is fun and happy - perfect for after spending the day n classrooms
My kids love the afterschool program
The hours, first and foremost! I don’t know any other program that allows two full time working parents the opportunity to have a school-aged child to be in a program that accommodates until 5:30/6pm during the week, over the the summer, and during Christmas break!
We love that she comes home with drawings and bracelets. She talks about her counselors all the time!
Responsible y muy amables gracias
The educators are so nice and accomating. They make real relationships with your children.
My child is always entertained and enjoying himself. I like the varied options on activities they have to choose from. Staff has been wonderful.
I love how active they are with the kids! Lexi always takes excellent care of her kids and the parents.
Claribel is a PHENOMENAL program director at Fairview elementary. Under her leadership, the afterschool program is very well organized and each child is well cared for. It’s my son’s favorite part of the day!
We love how much of it is outdoor and allows the children to follow their interests. We are also so incredibly grateful that the Y opened for two weeks before schools opened again after the storm and that shows us the Y’s commitment to helping families and being available when the community is in need.
Because my daughter have some where to go while I am at work.
Interactive ,reliable, affordable and family friendly!
She gets to play outside with her friends
Variety of activities encouraging learning and physical involvement
We love the weekly field trips & weekly trips to the pool. The face painting was also a hit.
Hugo loves Watia! It's some of the best weeks of his whole year!!
