This afternoon my wife and I attended a birthday/swim party for our middle grandson here. It was…read moreour first time and we didn't know what to expect. The whole process from where to enter to the exit and everything in between was perfectly handled by the YMCA staff . They didn't miss a beat! All of the kids had about an hour and a half to swim before it was time to eat cupcakes and various snacks and watch the birthday boy opening presents. The YMCA didn't hold my daughter to an exact number of kids she could invite so there were quite a number in attendance. This was a super great experience and it's a great place for a birthday party!

The service was amazing. I asked a ton of questions and they were very helpful and kind…read more Gym floor is huge - clean- well distributed! I live in the Bay Area and our YMCA's aren't as amazing- lucky I got to visit this one!

This review is long overdue! When my family and me moved to spartanburg I did hours and hours of…read moreresearch on daycares near us. Southern shops daycare passed with flying colors in every aspect that I could research online! So my wife and I signed up our almost 2 year old to attend. At first he would cry when I would drop him off in the morning. As I expected. But within a few minutes of standing outside, his crying stopped. And I could peak through the window to see him start playing with the other kids. When I would pick him up he was always very happy. And after a while he started to hug the ladies that were caring for him goodbye for the day. This told me that my hours apon hours apon days, and weeks of researching daycares paid off in excellent childcare for my son Hunter. He would still be going here if covid had not forced them to close because of low enrollment. I'm putting this review because they earned it! I'm not the type to give respect till it's earned. And all the ladies and 1 man earned my respect a million times over for caring for my son like he was one of their own!!! My next part of my review is for any other daycare looking for top notch childcare employees. If you see on an application that they worked at southern shops daycare..... look no further, you have found the perfect person for the job! Just hire them! They are always on time and very skilled at what they do! Thank you for reading, I am very sad that covid made them have to close....

So were to start with this so called daycare, from first glance it looks like a normal house turned…read moreinto a daycare, but then you drive to the back drop off area were you can view the so called play area with 3 yard toys and at no time during the 2 month of my grandchildren going there did I ever see children out play that should have been my first red flag. Then the door to were the children are kept is broken and hangs off the hinges Really. In the 3-4 times I pick them up for my daughter the caregiver seemed nice enough but I always got that un easy feeling because of the broken door that still had not been fix and that the room was dark and you never could see inside and were not aloud inside due to covid 19 Red flag #2. Then my granddaughter the youngest started to act out at home and complaining of one of the caregivers ( using that word loosely) was been me to her. My daughter ask this person was my granddaughter getting in trouble and she stated she was having some temper tantrums but just time out. to make a long story short after 2 month we found out that this person stabbed my granddaughter in the head with the pen point 8 times making her scape bleed and puncher wound all over her head, this is under investigation as well as the daycare. But be aware even thought the police , DSS and we were told she was fired from this daycare she is still employed there we recently found out. This person also punched my granddaughter in the stomach causing her to throw up. They are currently being investigated for not change the baby's diaper enough, security issues with that broken door, the abuse issue with my granddaughter and not enough employees per ratio with the children. The caregivers name I will not give out for the police and DSS are in a active investigation. please don't take you children there and if there there get them out.
