Member Testimonials

Convenience and the kids do their homework. It would be nice to have some enrichment programs.

They keep our children entertained with games or crafts and you can tell the staff cares about them and their safety.

Great!

Great instructor and the session is available at a time which works best for us

My kids are safe and have a lot of fun in aftercare. Thank you.

My daughter loves it! If it were up to her, she’d go in for morning care everyday. Minor logistical mishaps were resolved promptly. Keep up the great work!

Extremely convenient, great staff. My son loves it and we couldn't be happier!!

Kids do their homework at school without distractions of home toys, and teachers are around to help when needed. Plus they get to play outside weather permitting. We don't even keep track of half days anymore, because we know the Y has us covered.

The staff are very friendly and professional. They genuinely care about the kids’ well being. We feel safe to place our child in their care. My kid loves all the staff and looks forward to after school. He makes a lot of friends there too! I highly recommend YMCA after school at the West Essex location.

I’m not sure if this is the correct channel to voice the opinion. I hope the vacation camp registration can open up sooner, like ~2-3 weeks in advance so that we can plan ahead. This year the enrollment date is very late, like within the week of the school dayoff. I ended up taking my vacation time from work but in the long run it won’t be enough for me to cover all the school day off for the whole school year.

The staff have been much better at keeping the students in order and attentive this year, which has effectively reduced the potential for unnecessary incidents and drama.

Convenient and flexible.

They supervise our children and keep them safe and entertained. They will play games, do sports and/ or crafts on a daily basis. The kids love it because they stay active and make new friends.

My son enjoys playing with his friends there

Everyone is very nice. My child enjoys going and I know she is safe.

My son is very happy there and often asks to stay longer. He is making new friends, learning how to problem solve, and playing new games all the time. This is our third child who has gone to the aftercare program with the Y and we are always very pleased with the experience.

My daughters has aftercare as well as Super Summer Camp and loves it. she never wants to go home at the end of the day! thank you!
