Ymca Smith Program Center

This is a wonderful, well rounded before and after school care. I really appreciate how they run the day to day routine and have time for the students to do homework and play, both inside and outside. They plan fun activities. The director Tanya is very helpful and the staff is all very kind.

I am a single mom of an eight years old boy, and I enrolled my son to start from April. I have filed out the form and everything and they even took the $50 registration fees. On first day, they informed me that they un-enrolled him due to an outstanding balance from 2016. They kept repeating that I did not pay my portion. Anyhow I had all the paperwork that it was the agency and they cleared the balance but still they refused to enroll him. At the end they left me a message to go and fill extra forms. When I went there I felt I am under investigation by the authorities. The manager asked her colleague to come and sit with us as a witness and she started to read one by one of that form. I just could not take it anymore and after informing her that I am taking a legal action against them, I left. They thought well she is a foreigner and she is one of those who come to this country and use our tax and not paying her share. They un-enrolled my son without thinking of the consequences and try to resolve it first. They kept saying in front of all the staff, because you did not pay $200 something I've been told not to enroll him. Worst thing was after they found out I paid all my portions and have a good track record, they treating me like a criminal to secure themselves by asking me to sign extra paper work. Having suffered for a long time, and lost my job due to not having the child care,I am standing up for myself. When I enrolled with YMCA, I was assured of equal opportunity, but so far, this assurance has not been fulfilled.

Ymca camps are a joke. Go somewhere else! It's more like daycare than a camp.
