Convenient
The staff is friendly and helpful. It’s always clean and quiet. I appreciate the child care so parents can still focus on their health
This is our first year with after care at the Hal Welsh East Area Family Y and we absolutely adore the staff that care after our son. We can shout the praises of this experience enough.

Everything. The exercise areas ,the staff are so nice
It’s amazing
The staff are absolutely wonderful! I trust my kiddo with them. She hangs out with other kids, engages in arts and crafts, and gets plenty of time to play outdoors.
Great activities and wonderful staff! Amanda is the best! My son never wants to leave when I pick him up.
Location
Quick and easy, has the machine I need
Everything
It has equipment for all different levels. It has a huge mix of people, young and old, and everyone seems polite. People usually clean their machines after they’re done and it’s very nearby to where I live
Staff
Variety of activities, sometimes outdoor time, allows for homework time, friendly staff
Staff is very respectful and attentive. My son enjoys his time in the program.
Kids liked it there. Bus comes three quickly from school saving kids time. It would be even better if some afterscho activities were offered such as soccer, etc
Easily the best YMCA or gym in general I've ever been to. Place is like six flags. They have a lazy man river. An actual lazy man river. Unreal experience.
My daughter enjoys participating in the Y afterschool program. She likes seeing friends who are in different grades and participating in the activities- crafts, playing with toys, going outside in good weather. I like that she is happy there. The staff seem to really care about the kids and like spending time with them. I also like that she doesn’t have to take the bus, the program is right at her school.
Terrific management and our kids love the experience
The YMCA after school program is wonderful to me and my child! I drop her off before work all of the staff have been wonderful and kind! My daughter absolutely loves going there!!! Highly recommend for the kids.
Always friendly and helpful!
Miss Shelby is awesome and my kids are safe and have fun with engaging activities.
The hours and how kind the staff and how safe they make the environment
Everything is fantastic. Great facility!
We have used the YMCA before and after school program for 3 years now. Both our kiddos now attend the before and after school program, ages 5 and 8. They absolutely LOVE the program and the staff. My 5 year old wants to be there early and stay late every day. They play new games, meet new friends, read every day and learn while they play HARD. We cant thank the staff enough for keeping our kiddos safe and happy.

The people!!
