Greater Pittston Ymca Daycare

My son attends daycare at the Y and I am so grateful and happy we made the choice to send him there. The attention and support he receives each day is amazing - every single staff member, from those at the front desk to directors to his teachers, treat him with love and care. We are provided with pictures and updates throughout the day and never feel in the dark about anything going on with our son while he is at the Y. I can’t recommend enough!

We love the YMCA! Alex has made it a point to make these years at the Y memorable for our children! So many activities, visits field trips and surprises make it all worth it . I never have to worry about dropping off because I know my kids will always have the best day!

Clean facility and lots of different things to do to stay active! I enjoy coming here to workout without the crowd you get at larger gyms. The team is also friendly and people are welcoming. Lots of activities for the little ones and they offer preschool and daycare as well! Parking is behind the building and you pay about 1.00 an hour through an app called “Pango”

Best childcare team! Takes my toddler out on field trips, does lots of activities and crafts and you can tell the teachers/director really cares.

Facility Review: Critical Operational and Safety Concerns Cleanliness and Maintenance Standards This facility consistently fails to meet basic sanitation standards across multiple areas. The family locker rooms routinely contain bodily waste near toilet facilities, creating unsanitary conditions for members. The weight room exhibits visible mold growth, while the gymnasium remains cluttered with debris and discarded recreational equipment. Infrastructure maintenance is severely inadequate. Essential amenities including soap dispensers, toilet door locks, and paper towel dispensers are frequently non-functional. When paper towels are available, they are often stored improperly near water sources, resulting in soggy, unsanitary conditions that defeat their intended purpose. Childcare Operations: Serious Health and Safety Violations The childcare facility presents significant public health concerns. Since March 2025, there have been 11 documented cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease across four of the five classrooms, indicating inadequate infection control protocols. Staffing issues compound these problems. The facility employs undertrained personnel who receive insufficient management support and guidance. The absence of standard operating procedures and evidence-based best practices has resulted in operational failures that compromise child safety and program quality. Facility Infrastructure Deficiencies Critical maintenance issues remain unaddressed for extended periods. The toddler room has experienced a persistent water leak in the back closet for over one year. This leak contaminated children’s sleeping cots, requiring staff to dry bedding before each use—an unacceptable situation that poses health risks and demonstrates poor facility management. Conclusion These systemic failures in sanitation, maintenance, staffing, and operational procedures represent serious deficiencies that require immediate administrative attention and corrective action. The facility’s current state compromises member safety, child welfare, and basic service delivery standards.
