Member Testimonials

Everyone is very friendly and supportive

The community, the communication and the teachers.

We feel so lucky to have a daycare with such loving and caring teachers! Our children are thriving at the South Mountain YMCA!

The teachers!

Miss Shelia and her team of teachers have been incredibly creative and patient in nurturing our son’s development.

Not many closures, loving staff, events that encourage parents socializing, camp, great location

Very friendly environment. Teachers are great and everyone seems to care about our kids.

The teachers created a warm and welcoming environment that helped our child feel comfortable expressing himself and while building valuable social skills.

The teachers and staff are so caring and attentive with the children

How much everyone cares about the children

The teachers/caregivers are so loving and caring- I have a real sense that they love my baby and care for her so personally. The facility is beautiful, clean, bright and friendly.

I do wish that there was more communication on the app, like receiving some pictures of our baby's activity, the ability to message about anything important or timely, and some sense of the daily routines/schedules/activities.

We love the teachers and staff! Everyone is kind and the teachers really care about each child and their development.

The YMCA ECLC feels like family. Every single caregiver knows our daughters’ names and they are greeted with a smile, warmth and kindness each day. It is a remarkable place.

The entire staff is wonderful. They take such great care of our son, and give him and the other kids great attention. Its a very warm place for children to grow up

I’m so amazed with The care and support of my son, not only from his core classroom teachers but from all of the teachers and staff. I love how everyone interacts with my son and makes him feel welcome. I love The full day activities, he’s a very active toddler who is able to exude his energy everyday at school. He’s learning and growing very independent. I love the daily updates and photos, the calendar of events. I’m grateful my son is a part of the Y ECLC family

The care each of the teachers and assistants shows the children

The people! The teachers are so caring for our child and for us. And the administrative staff are all so helpful and kind. The hours are tremendous and it feels overall like a community.

Good program, great teachers who really care and go above and beyond, socially-aware community.

It's more than a school/childcare center, it's a home away from home for my kid

The best place in the universe! We love our Ms Sue and Gina and Toochi and Celoye. They care so much about our children and provide a nurturing environment that encourages exploration. Damian loves going to school and often is mad at me when I pick him up early- because he truly loves being at the ECLC and the Marmoset classroom!

Our son is thriving at the Y and he loves all his teachers and the staff! We could not ask for a better experience.

The teachers, their care, the staff, everything!!

Great teachers and families

the staff and leadership go above and beyond to make sure this place is so much more than a school/childcare...they foster a culture and strong sense of belonging. It's always so festive, creative, you walk in and it seems as though there is a different celebration monthly, weekly.

Feeling of community

Love the Y. The teachers and staff are absolutely fantastic. Every single one without exception. I like that it feels like a genuine community with other parents and teachers I see every day.

Only thing I would change if I had a magic wand would be the parking lot situation. It's pretty cramped and stressful (especially in the winter when its dark and possibly snowy/icy!)

The entire staff are incredibly generous with their time and attention to our daughter. The front office team and all teachers greet us with a smile every morning — what a joyful way to come to school. We don’t know what we’d do without this team of educators. Huge gratitude to the ECLC — thanks for a safe and loving space for our children to grow.

Safe loving environment where I know my child will learn as be ready for kindergarten

Friendly community, experienced staff, convenient hours and location
