From Our Family to Yours – Thank You, YMCA On behalf of our family, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the teachers and staff at YMCA. Our daughter spent about a year on her journey with you, and she truly loved her time at the school. She would always come home with stories about her day, and what stood out most was how often she talked about the kindness, love, and care she received from her teachers. It’s clear that the staff and teachers are not only professional but also warm, joyful, and always ready with a smile. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing and positive environment. Your child will not only be in good hands but will also learn and grow so much. Once again, thank you, YMCA, for everything you’ve done for our daughter and for being such a special part of her early years.
If you're looking for a preschool that checks all the boxes, then the YMCA ELC is the one. We toured several schools in the area back when we needed care for our eldest. There was no doubt that the YMCA was the best choice we could make. The teachers are so kind, caring and fun! Several years later our son still misses the school. Especially the summer months packed full of fun activities! Now his sister is enrolled and she loves it as well. They keep the classes very clean and orderly, not over stimulating. Playgrounds are also well taken care of and there are plenty of outside shade areas. Each class has a great curriculum that is age appropriate to the group. They are well prepared for kindergarten when they leave the Y!
Best decision I could of made. My daughter enjoys going to school everyday. We’ve seen so much growth in the last couple of months. The teachers are patient, sweet and caring. The facility is always clean and welcoming.
Horrible teachers and director with no experience in dealing with kids. If your child needs a little extra attention like most 3 year olds .. DO NOT send them here. My 3 year old was suspended , punished and labeled as a problem from the first day. He has been there less than a week and they were trying to get him out of the program. They don’t have the passion, patience or experience to help your child grow here. Only one adult to every 12 students and they will make you think your child is the problem.
I enrolled my daughter to this YMCA. She went to Teen Camp which was located at the Diamond Pointe school. They had a field trip to Raging Water one day. My daughter texted me before they left and told me that they couldn't bring anything to Raging Water. I assumed by "anything", she meant valuable stuff such as phone and money. At the end of the day, as usual I went to Diamond Pointe to pick her up. There were several other parents waiting to pick up their kids. And then one lady (a YMCA staff) came and posted an announcement on a classroom door and told us that kids were dropped off at the Sunset Crossing YMCA. She said the teacher didn't bring the key so we had to get the stuff the next day. It didn't make sense that they dropped off our kids at the other YMCA when their stuff was at this location. And it was only 5 minutes drive between those 2 locations. So other parents and I went to the Sunset Crossing YMCA to pick up our kids. We got there and we saw our kids were only in their swimsuits. Apparently when they said kids couldn't bring anything, that included towels. So our kids went back from Raging Water in their wet swimsuit, not covered. There were a number of teenage girls walking around in swimsuits. That is ridiculous. There were 4 YMCA staff going to the Raging Water with our kids. I believe our kids were old enough, they could fold their towels and put them in a pile and YMCA staff can take turn watching the towels. Or, they can even leave the towels in the van if they're worried someone would steal our kids' towels. And it's even better, one of the YMCA staff rented a locker for herself so she could change after swimming but not our kids. Apparently those YMCA staff didn't care about our kids. They went swimming and had fun instead. When I picked up my daughter, she complained that she was cold. She got sick the next day. Also, YMCA staff at Sunset crossing didn't even know that our kids were going to be dropped off at their location. One of the staff told us that another staff was driving back to Diamond Pointe to get our kids' stuff. But later she informed us that the guy couldn't do it because there was too many stuff. But the classroom was unlocked so we could go back there to pick up our kids' stuff. So we went driving back to Diamond Pointe to get our kids stuff. Frankly, I won't enroll my kids to this YMCA anymore. They're not organized and apparently they don't care about our kids.
