What Parents Say
Parents consistently praise YMCA Child Development Center (operating as Gimme a Break) for excellent staff, engaging activities, and strong leadership under new ownership. The facility is noted for its organization, cleanliness, developmental focus, and detailed communication with parents about their children's daily activities and progress.
What a cute wonderful place! The staff was extremely friendly, and as a mom you always worry about leaving your kids with other people. But my kids had a great time and it was so easy just to drop them off. Run my errands and run and pick them back up before we head out of town. This is wonderful for people that don't live in the city such as myself, but can't always bring kids with you to certain places.
My niece and nephews came here when they were younger and loved it. It gave them a chance to interact with other kids. Always busy with projects and crafts!
I have used gimme-A-Break off and on in the past and recently decided to start using them again for my 2 year old children. The way the facility is run under its current director is absolutely phenomenal. The care and detail that goes into everything the littles do is wonderful. There are daily updates in what your child is doing at various times of the day. I know when they eat a meal, have a nap, and get changed as well as any fine/gross motor skills they have been working on. There is even lesson plans sent home weekly that are age appropriate and aimed at preparing the children for preschool/kindergarten schooling. The staff is super sweet and always a joy when picking up/dropping off. We are very happy with the care provided in this facility. 10/10 would recommend.
This is an amazing facility, they provided excellent care to our baby boy for nearly 2 years. Recently they have also introduced preschool/kinder prep program which has been very helpful for our child’s overall development. We’ve clearly seen results in his communication and behavior. We’ve recently moved out of Sioux Falls, that is why we are not able to continue here now. Me and my husband worked full-time and never had any issues or worries about our child’s care or well-beings. The director (Mrs Christine), owner (Mrs Amanda), and teachers are very experienced and they make sure that the kid is comfortable under their care. Super organized, clean facility and they offer a structured program for preschoolers! My baby boy misses this place and wants to go back! ❤️
Above and beyond is an understatement. The staff are all very kind, educated, and encouraging! My kiddos never want to go home! Get in now while you have a chance!
