Member Testimonials
Y morning care & after is not only helpful for my husband & I who work in New York, but are so grateful for the workers that watch over our daughter. Very professional, and yet a sense of care and compassion. I know my daughter will miss her time at Lloyd Elementary’s Y-time in Aberdeen New Jersey.
To have piece of mind knowing my child is in good hands means the world to us. Thank you!
My son enjoys the physical fitness activities that he is able to take part in after he completes homework assignments. The staff is kind and helpful. I like the flexibility of being able to pick him up early or late. I feel like the is a very safe place and I can trust that he is in good care.
Great staff my daughter loves it!!
Excellent staff especially Ms. Barbara and Ms. Joyce.

My kids LOVE going to Y kids every morning. They beg to go every single day. They even want to go after school too. They will be back again next year for sure.
This is our child's last year. Miss Kathy and Miss Jeanie have been great. They keep the kids occupied in a positive way and I always know he is well taken care of. We will miss it next year.
Team is attentive and communicates with the teachers. I trust them fully.
Reliable and fun
Kids say they have fun with the activities/ they are nice to the kids
Convenient for working parents and love the staff. Thank you!
Applegate YMCA staff is always friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable about the students. My son loves aftercare because they have games and activities, as well as crafts planned. They have a great structure!
We love Y-time! My son has been in Y-time since kindergarten and he really enjoys playing with the kids before coming home.
The convenience of the program, cost and staff.
We do aftercare at the Spring Lake Heights Elementary school and the staff there are so friendly. They make the experience great for my daughter! Plus the front office staff is very nice and helpful.
Good communication and the kids always are entertained!
Rina has had an amazing experience at the camp - it's thoughtful, well run and fun. Staff is super nice and responsive. She has made a lot of friends and look forward to camp every day. I only wish the Freehold branch had more - like camp Zehnder.
The Y is 3 mins from our house. The drop off is easy, as is pickup. My daughter looked forward to going every day. She loved the frog pool, and the counselors. Her favorite game was UNO. I like the swim lessons every week. I love the app and seeing all the photos of smiling kids. She will be back next summer! Maybe my son too.

They take great care of the kids!
