there should be some more activities for kids where they can learn new things
Convenience
The YMCA staff are great when it comes to working with my daughter and other children. My daughter enjoys coming to the afterschool case with YMCA. The reason I put 9 instead of 10 is because sometime when I call to the the Y know I’m here to pick up my daughter, the person answering the phone seems angry or upset. But when I’m greeted at the door, they seem happy.
The late pickup time and friendly demeanor of the after school care
Awesome
Well structured and my daughter absolutely enjoyed it.
Conveniently within the school and friendly staff
I like the convenience of my child being able to stay at her elementary school campus for after school care.
The staff is serious and dedicated. Ms. D is kind and respectful towards everyone. The staff is also connected with walkie talkies to each other and know where the children are located at all times. They feed the kids afternoon snacks which is so helpful. It is a blessing to have a place where I can rest assured that my child is safe and cared for. Thank you so much YMCA Afterschool at Mockingbird!
It has been a great experience for both my kids, 5 and 4 years old. They both come out happy and often asking us to pick them up later - they enjoy the play time they have, snacks, and overall program!
The time available for after school.
My son adores this program because he feels safe, seen, and excited by the activities. This is a direct result of the staff's exceptional professionalism and the program's impeccable organization. The environment is structured so well that it clearly prevents issues before they could ever begin. A truly exemplary operation.
My son has level 2 autism. The staff at Lakeside Elementary have been excellent in helping him adjust to after school care and he enjoys his time there.
This is our first year having enrolled our daughter in YMCA and she LOVES it. Therefore we love it. My only pain is that she never wants to leave.lol
I’m really thankful that they have made her feel comfortable in this after school program because she typically takes a while to adjust to change. So far so good!
Everyone is very nice and attentive to my child.
Stuff is very friendly, well educated, they do a lot with the kids so they have a good time.
Interactive and fun for the kids
My son absolutely loves his after school program! It's fun, affordable, and super convenient for our busy schedule. The staff is great, and he always comes home happy and excited to go back! Highly recommend!
YMCA has already been a huge help to me and my family. While facing some struggles with my child on the autism spectrum, they have not given up on us and continue to work with us to figure out strategies and always to help him thrive. I will forever be grateful to them for their commitment to children and their families!
Best experience so far
My daughter is very happy with the after school program. She does not come home bored or over exhausted. After day one pickup, the staff knew my face and knew which child belonged to me. That tells me they take pride in their job and take the safety of my child seriously. I recommend the program to all other moms who ask.
The flexibility and availability. It also gives me peace of mind knowing that my son is in good hands. Thank you Mr. Chris.
The kids are happy when I pick them up and are engaged in some activity. It is a good experience.
my kiddos have been participating in this program for a long time! the staff onsite with the kids at Lively Elementary is AMAZING!!
I like the interaction that my daughter has with other children and the crafts they teach her to do
My kids always come out of the Y so happy. They love the routine.
My son absolutely LOVES coming here after school! He has the best time and truly enjoys making crafts with his friends. He also, LOVES that he is given a snack everyday. I am so glad we signed him up!
The activities and the outgoing people there
The activities are limitless and my child comes home everyday excited for the next adventure after school.
My son is safe and he has fun with his friends
