Amazing staff
The staff who ran the before and after care programs at Brookdale Elementary were amazing. They made sure that my child was taken care of and had fun activities to do.
The child care staff are wonderful with the kids
My child loves the staff, and they do a great job of engaging with the kids on their level, while making them feel important and comfortable. We have loved aftercare and our son begs us to pick him up late everyday!
Reliable, quality care
My son loves the YMCA aftercare program. He has a lot of fun with all of the activities, especially drawing with the counselors. Whenever I pick him up, he is never ready to leave, so I take that as a good sign.
Great staff and convenient hours.

Tremendously organized. Excellent staff!

Thank you.
At Hillside, Ms. Monty is wonderful. She is extremely professional, cares for all of the kids. My kids have been attending the YMCA aftercare since kindergarten, and she is without a doubt the best counselor you have at the Y.

I like that it's at my child's school, so no need to transport her anywhere else. She always seems to have a great time and I like that she has a chance to develop relationships with children outside her immediate classroom.
We like it!
Friendly and reliable staff, engaging activities
My son is very happy when we pick him up from after care.
It's very convenient that the child care takes place right on the school campus. I also appreciate that the volunteers help the kids tackle homework before play time. It makes reviewing it at home later much easier. The YMCA is providing an essential service for many parents.
The staff at Brookdale in both morning and after care are awesome! My kids never want to leave.
Ms.Denise for Carteret Elementary After Care program. I can fully trust my child is in good hands when she is on the clock. She treats those kids like her own family. My daughter loves her so much.
We love the group of people that support my daughter at Brookdale school aftercare. I can tell that they really support the kids and my daughter loves being there. Miss Franny has been great stepping up as the lead this year and I never feel guilty about having her there because they have so much fun.
