They are always interacting with the kids unlike other YMCA locations. They always update me on what my child was doing or what skills they practiced(cleaning up, sharing). I also love the outdoor pool for my young son. He can gain confidence in the water since it is pretty shallow. The deck is really nice and comfortable with a lot of shade from the umbrellas. I always recommend the YMCA to anyone with kids. I feel like the childwatch and programs add such a great value. The gym here is also really nice with update equipment. It is really clean and air conditioned well.

If I hadn't lost over $5k in prepaid fees to these guys, I'd say the operation was a joke…read more Unfortunately, the truth is more nefarious than that. We tried Tutoring Club for our son, thinking it might be a lower cost alternative to Elite Prep. We prepaid $5,600 in tutoring fees in Sept, based on a promise written in our contract that they would refund if we didn't like it. My son felt the quality of instruction was rudimentary compared to Elite Prep, so we cancelled almost immediately. The owner acknowledged that we were due a refund at the time. It is now Jan, 4 months later, and they still have not processed the promised refund. Maybe they are a struggling business and just don't have the funds. Or maybe they are so disorganized they can't get their act together. Or maybe they engage in deceitful business practices. Whatever the case, there is no explanation that makes this the kind of place you want to trust for your children's academic success.

In the wake of COVID, our son had fallen woefully behind in math and his grades in other subjects were also suffering as he never had a chance to properly adjust to the academic demands of middle school during the lockdown. By creating a customized schedule for our son, Reshma & Jennifer have not only shored up his math skills but have put him on the path to success in high school. This was no small feat given how easily distracted he is; it took a lot of individual attention and coaching. Moreover, Reshma was willing to sit down with us multiple times to brainstorm and provide guidance -- including a draft high school class list tailored to our son. All in all a great experience thus far, and worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Everyone is friendly and they have so much fun stuff to do in their playground. I don't even live close by but make the long commute daily because I don't want to move her.

We transferred our son to this location and what a breath of fresh air. Melinda the principal is AMAZING! She genuinely cares about each child enrolled here and their families. I can't sing enough praise about her and her leadership. The admin has also been great and are so on top of everything (Jessica and Angela). Our son was in the infant room and we had NO issues and knew our son was in great care. Even with COVID on the rise, I feel safer than ever sending my son back here. The staff has implemented a lot of protocol to ensure the kids are safe and my son has been so happy playing his his friends again. They have been extremely communicative and adaptable during these times and I know any child walking through that door will be in great hands. Definitely don't think twice about enrolling your child here.

Now that we added our 2nd at the same age, price has double at $3,100 per month. But staff turnover, and poor morale has significantly decreased their care.

NOTE: the increase to fees started yearly prior to COVID, and benefits of a tuition free week was no longer available post COVID but prices continue to increase.

The facilities are always so tidy, there's always someone to greet you warmly at the door, and Tobi and Katie along with the teachers are so communicative about everything related to your child! My kids have always come home singing songs and learning so much - by the time my oldest started Kindergarten they were already reading, writing, and way ahead of their peers - and it's all thanks to KCC. Sad to leave as our youngest moves upward and onward, but truly a gem in local childcare. We'll miss you!

We have been going here since 2009 and we loved every moment of it. The classes are not overcrowded and the curriculum will get them ready for AP classes in high school. The school is a bit old and has been around for several decades but it brings much character. The sports programs available are great for both boys and girls like soccer, volleyball, basketball, flag football and track. The school has great festival each year during the holiday season and during the fall. The Fall festival is a one of a kind cozy festival full of performances, beer gardens, food from all nations and games for the kids to play. Overall this school has been fantastic with our two kids.

She loves her teachers and always shares positive stories about her day. When our 4-year-old mentioned a classmate was bothering her, the school handled it with the utmost care and concern.

The school is very safe, well-maintained and efficiently run thanks to superb leadership and excellence in child development.

I love how caring the Director Julie is - she knows every child by name, prays for them, and listens to the Holy Spirit. During covid I knew the school was being ran by someone who hears from the Holy Spirit - what more could you ask? I love that they do the pledge every week together, along with prayer, and they sing songs about Jesus in chapel. I have never had any safety concerns the entire time they've been there, I know they are in the best hands. One of my favorite things about Lifebridge is how they do fun spirit weeks and celebrations. My boys are always looking forward to exciting celebrations coming up, Lifebridge makes holidays memorable and add in a ton of flare in between holidays to make school more exciting! Summer school especially is also full of exciting themes - splash day with bounce houses, popsicles on the playground, etc. If they're ever having a hard time getting to school, I can usually remind them of something fun coming up they're looking forward to. We are not a big extracurricular sports family, but I LOVE that they get pulled out to attend Amazing Athletes every week. They get to experience each sport, as well as do fun games & exercises & they get stamps to show what they learned that day so I can ask them about it at home. They never want to miss it. Again, we are so grateful to God for the blessing Lifebridge has been to our family.
