Member Testimonials
Very friendly, attentive Staff. Always feel comfortable knowing my child is very well taken care of while I'm at work.
Mrs. McDonough and Mrs. Dowling are absolutely amazing. Kind, caring, considerate, and have a true passion and calling to what they do. They are child centered and truly wanted the best for my son. They worked with me and his CPSE team (as he was receiving speech therapy services), to ensure his needs were being met from therapy to home to the classroom. I would not send my children anywhere else.
The teachers are warm and wonderful. The kids grow so much socially and academically, and it is so evident that there is routine and fun in their days. Nothing but good things to say about the preschool program here!
The staff are very engaging with my kids and quick to respond about any of my concerns. I love the Brightwheel App and knowing how my kids days are and getting pictures too. My kids both enjoy coming here and like their classmates and teachers. My older child is learning so much and does yoga, music, etc. Keep up the great work!
Our kids love the staff and all of the activities keep them constantly engaged!
Both our kids have gone through the Preschool Program with Mrs. Dowling, Mrs. Orth and Mrs. McDonough. I can't say enough nice things about it. Truly, an incredible program. This is my daughters last year there, and my wife and I regularly talk about how sad we are about it. I couldn't ask for a better experience for my family.
The teachers are absolutely amazing! They are hands down what makes this preschool program so special. They genuinely care about the kids and cater to their individual needs. They are patient, kind, attentive and supportive. We just sent our second child through the program and plan to send our youngest when she’s of age.
Amazing teachers! Class size allows for individual attention and focusing on each child’s needs. My son loves the Y!
Ms. Dowling is phenomenal. Goes above and beyond. She is absolutely amazing with the children and parents for that matter. So understanding and just an all around wonderful teacher.
I am so impressed with how much my son learns in such short period of time. And he really looks forward to class. The teachers make class fun . The teachers are easily accessible when you have a question and plan fun events. Overall we are very pleased with the preschool program and have already recommended it to some friends.
Everything!! The teachers are wonderful! My daughter has learned and grown so much, and I also know she's in good hands.

The staff is great! Whenever I have questions they answer them right away! My son loves the before and after school program with the Y better than his old program!!

I love the staff that cares for my kiddos that attend the YMCA program at Cicero Elementary.
It is very easy to drop off and pick up. My son likes everyone in charge. Mia was so great, she will be so missed!
Mia & Mrs. P at Bear Road are AMAZING!! I feel so safe having my son there after school. He started more than half way through the school year and everyone has been so welcoming.
The peopel are friendly and amzing
I am halfway between the North and Northwest YMCA's. I usually use the North Y because the sauna is in the women's locker room and the lifeguards are very friendly and attentive. I swim laps and take the water aerobics and Water Pilates classes.Everyone is warm and friendly.
