Member Testimonials
Forest Avenue School in Verona YMCA staff are awesome!
I like that it's located at my child's school so she has a sense of continuity in her day. I also like the consistency of the staff whom she gets to know and develop relationships with throughout the year. I also really like the seamlessness with which my child can participate in other after school activities (enrichment courses, the play) without my having to worry how she's getting from one activity to the next.
The staff is wonderful and my child really enjoys being there.
They are friendly and responsible
The councilors are amazing. A lot
Of activities.
The team is great, they keep our kids active and engaged
I love that kids of various ages get to play together and learn from one another, whether it’s sports, drawing or imagination play. The younger kids obviously learn so much from the older kids, but it helps the older kids learn leadership and how to look out for the littles.
Everyone is caring and friendly.
The YMCA staff at our school, CHB, was nothing short of stellar. Ms. Heather and Mr. Parker are excellent coordinators and motivators for the staff and programming. My son loved aftercare and would beg me to let him stay later; he learned drumming, Zumba, how to play Uno, soccer skills, cooperative skills, and Gaga from the YMCA aftercare staff, all with patience and understanding. We feel so lucky that this option is available for our family and to the constant love and professionalism of the staff at CHB.

My son gets to play with his friends, and there are opportunities for structured activities.
The staff at my daughter’s aftercare was amazing. She more often then not ask to stay longer!

The staff! They are so caring and work so hard to make the experience great for the kids. Shout out to the after care staff at Hillside Elementary.
My daughter feels safe and happy there. She loves her counselors and playing with her friends.
excellent 👏🏻👏🏻 recommended 100%
My child attends morning and aftercare about 3 days a week at Watchung school. The staff members do a great job keeping the kids active and safe. I particularly appreciate their daily greetings and warm and caring demeanor with the kids and towards their colleagues. You know things are going well when your child asks to stay and play a little longer at pick up. Thank you, Y, for providing this important service to families!
I like very much
