What do you like about your YMCA of Montclair - School Age Child Care experience?

My daughter has been a part of the YMCA school-age childcare program for five years. I love how accommodating this program is. I enjoy seeing the same counselors at multiple programs, this creates lasting relationships with the children in their care and their family. I enjoyed the array of activities that are provided throughout the year and the love that is poured into my child. My daughter was always excited at drop of and pick and this made me heart smile. I give the YMCA a ten out of ten.

What do you like about your YMCA of Montclair - School Age Child Care experience?

We absolutely love their before, and Aftercare program. All the things they offer and the way they’re separate different grade levels. They stagger them outside time, arts and crafts or in the gym. Love how they all come together at 5 o’clock and the little one can play with the big ones. We absolutely love all the counselors, but especially the Watchung YMCA supervisor Ms. Markell McCormick. She is organized, creative, caring, brings in outside people for ZUMBA and she does amazing job overall making sure the kids have fun things to do such arts and craft projects! She has a really great handle on all the counselors and the different groups and all the children. My child gets upset when I pick her up early!

What do you like about your YMCA of Montclair - School Age Child Care experience?

My family depends on aftercare, with two working parents, and our kids genuinely enjoy it. We appreciate that they balance homework time with free play time and have found the people very pleasant.

I do wish there was a better sign-up/notification process. If we miss signup on the first day we have been waitlisted for months. I would appreciate notification of dates for member families and/or prioritization for returning families —or increased capacity would be nice too.
