The teachers are caring, the facility is clean, bright, happy and a great place to learn

Caring teachers

My child is just in daycare, not any other programs and definitely not in preschool or I would have filled this out earlier. We love our Y daycare teachers and know he's getting great care!

The teachers and administrators, diversity, curriculum, activities. Teachers go above and beyond!

It feels like family. We have been supported, not just our daughter, as our lives have shifted and morphed over the last 2 years. I genuinely don’t know what we would have done if I didn’t have the peace of mind that my little girl was thriving. It has become an incredible source of community to us in our time of need and we will be forever grateful to the entire staff.

Teachers and the community!

Our kids feel safe and happy there and the teachers are all kind and wonderful!

The YMCA daycare has helped us feel truly included in this community. We are immigrants, and this has meant the world to us. We will always be grateful to the entire team.

We love our experience at the Y! The teachers and support staff are so warm and friendly. My son always feels happy to be there, and sometimes asks to stay later! I like when free play and free drawing is encouraged over more prescriptive art projects which I think he's getting more of now. He likes having a job in the class and take pride in this. My only concern is that I wish toys and food treats weren't used as much as incentives.

My child is always proud and happy to report back what he did at gymnastics. It's a bright spot of his week!

Great place to learn and play. Staff is great!!

I love their kindness, enthusiasm, readiness, patience, care and love they show to all the kids and families. They make sure they show undivided attention to all kids without exception, and they are extremily friendly even to family members. And let's not forget about their prompt organization (very organized facility from the moment you enter the main door to the going to pick up your child). Facility is safe and clean as well.

My daughter looks forward to attending cooking class

Great program, professional organization

I would recommend the ECLC for any age groups. The teachers are so caring and attentive. I am always impressed when I drop off and pick up!

The teachers and staff are all so caring, attentive, friendly. Our son is thriving at the Y- eager to go and comes home smiling and happy.

Teachers are caring, attentive. Our daughter comes home smiling and happy.

Sloth classroom teachers are some of the best people i've met! My daughter is so lucky to spend time in their class. She gets mad when I come early to pick her up. Support staff is also wonderful, kind and reliable.

My son loves kinderducks! Coach Fred rocks and his patience is next level. It’s amazing to see the progress the kids have made over the last few months.

My son is at Delia Bolden and loved it! The teachers are so great and so invested in the kids. My son never wants to go home! We’re so grateful!

Though never visited the YMCA at south orange mountain. My sons experience playing for their 14u division basketball team was a great experience. Coach Nicholas is the best

Convenient, lots of activities

The soccer coach was so nice! We saw him walking home and he said what a great job Greylan is doing and my son really enjoys the class!

Staff are caring and engaging.

Great selection of programming for all age groups!

My son plays basketball, coach Fred’s Kinderducks class. A 10/10 experience. Coach cares about the kids, helps them learn the game, and maintain the perfect balance of keeping them focused and letting them have fun.
