They took great care of my toddler and communicated well with me. He plays very well with other children now

Very convenient before and after school care.

My child looks forward to going to YCare each day. That eases my mind as a parent. I absolutely love that he enjoys going there each and every day.

My daughter loves going to Y care.

Staff are friendly and kind. I find on-site school locations excellent. My daughter enjoys all the activities.

The Y-Care before and after school has been a life saver. It works for both our schedules and my child really enjoys going and often is disappointed when it’s time to go. The team at Harris Elementary is so caring and kind.

Our son has been going to the before care since Kindergarten. Over the last three years he has enjoyed all the activities they do before school at Harrison Hill Elementary. He has also been in the summer program there and loves being able to hang out with friends.

The program and teachers are absolutely amazing!

My son loves attending before school Ycare! The teachers are fantastic!

This program is more than just a safe place for my child to go afterschool. She is able to learn so many additional skills outside of pure educational skills that supplement her educational skills to help make her a fully rounded person :)
It is also very clear that her site director cares for the children attending and wants to do her part in ensuring these children learn these skills.

My daughter loves YCARE so much! The teachers in the afternoon at Holland are amazing! Miss Katie has been a blessing the last couple years and my daughter LOVES her. The new teacher Miss Mia I believe is just as nice and we love Clay, the new director. My daughter specifically says he’s so nice because the first day she told her he liked her bow. Little things like that go along way with kids her age and she’s just blossomed being in YCARE the 4 years. Sometimes I will pick her up and she doesn’t want to leave! I can’t say enough how amazing that location has been to us. Also as a single parent the assistance has helped me be able to continue keeping her there.

It's been the safest route for my child to go to before or after school. I know they are safe, still learning, and also having fun! I really appreciate you guys being there for my kids!

We love it, my son enjoys it first year.

Reliable, convenient. Our son seems to really enjoy his time there.

It’s great!

Friendliness of the staff, the fun my child has, the morals taught, and overall program being top notch!

My boys love the care givers with Camp Kekionga! They try to always be positive and fair which is very appreciated. Thank you!

My son is always raving about the services. He loves Y care and camp. I’m grateful he has a place to go that he doesn’t dread.

Still structured but kids are allowed to have fun. They do plenty of activities to pass the time.

Will loves his friends and the staff at Kekionga!

I like the face that my daughter loves the staff and the activities that are set!!

It is a very fun and safe environment!

The staff are very friendly and let you know if there are any issues. Communication is great! Very organized. My child loves going to Y care.

I don’t have to be worry about my kid
Because if it is any issue I will discussed with the crew member and it will get resolved
And my son love to go there

My daughter has been attending YMCA child care since kindergarten and she is now going to be a 2nd grader. They have been nothing but good with her. before and after care and Y care spring break and when they are out of school. They have been so great especially with being a single mother, when school closes after 2 hour delays. It just has been a great pleasure to have an opportunity to have this kind of help with my child.

The YMCA administration team has always been very great and easy to work with. The Y care teachers have never hesitated to communicate any issues with me when it comes to my child.

Fun for kids. On site at the school.

The only major complaint is the cost. You raised the price 3 times last year. 25% of monthly paychecks goes to pay for before and after care for 1 kid; and aftercare for my other child. Since covid, you don't provide school delay coverage unless you go to FWCS. My kids are in EACS and we have more delays and we don't get reimbursed for the days they don't go. You no longer provide the service but we still pay. I also don't like the penny wars. It wouldn't be bad but you run it for several weeks. I already pay alot every month but in order for my kid not to feel left out or peer pressured, I have to give more money.

Staff is attentive and engaged with all the children.
