    The Boise YMCA has very friendly staff and some of the best class instructors. I have not been to…read moreevery YMCA in the valley but I love the warm pool, the walking circuit, and they have an amazing staff that is always friendly when we come in. I will say it is a bit pricey, but they have financial assistance for people who are needing it, and when I lost my job we paid based on how much we made so cost doesn't have to be a factor preventing you from going to an inclusive community center for all ages. The YMCA in West Boise offers a great experience for any newcomer to the gym or long time veterans who are just coming in to work out.

    The best thing here is that it costs $4. There is a kiddie pool and small pool and then a giant…read morepool. We went on a Saturday and the big pool had a swim meet so it was closed which was fine, but it wasn't posted anywhere. So we went in the other two pools. The problem is, we called ahead to get information since we'd never been before & at the front desk reiterated we had never been so wanted to make sure we were good to go info. However, the staff at the front desk was unpleasant and offered almost no information. You must have your ID with you which we had to go 20 minutes back for and was not told that on the phone. We brought 4 kids, two that can swim and two that can't yet so we borrowed life jackets and they swam for almost an hour in the non kiddie pool only to be told you can't be in here even with a life jacket so they kicked them out into the kiddie pool. Then they kept asking for necklaces which we didn't know what that meant and finally a lifeguard said they tell us if they can swim or not. This was an hour in style that point and they'd been swimming without them. The signage to the pools is atrocious and unclear. The bathrooms were dirty as were multiple spots in the pool. I even asked about memberships for the future, & the front desk person said "oh idk you'll need to call the manager" and walked away. I'm glad it was only $4 because it was a very stressful experience and next time we want to take the kids swimming, I think we will find somewhere else.

    This review is for the daycare…read more We just pulled our child out of daycare here. He came home one day and told us about an incident he had with another student. The incident itself is the kind of thing that happens at any school or daycare; However, how he described the response to the incident from his teacher was concerning to us. Additionally, this was in the context of other concerning statements (made to our child and to us) by a couple of different teachers at Wings. I reached out to the director, Athena Schmitz, who promised to discuss the specific incident with the teacher and our general concerns with all of the teachers. She promised to follow-up with me via a phone call. We received a very vague apology via a message from the teacher without explanation for the incident or her response. It is now about a month later and I never received a call from Athena as was promised. It's disappointing that our concerns were not important enough to her for her to follow through on. Beyond this, overall we noticed a big change in our child's enthusiasm for the Wings Center. At first he loved it. He enjoyed his teacher and planet kid (their big playground). Recently he hasn't wanted to go. When we asked if he wanted to keep going there or find a different school he very consistently expressed he did not want to go to Wings anymore. My gut feeling is that he's had other negative experiences there that he hasn't told us about. There are plenty of great daycares in the area. If you are looking for something similar to Wings, we checked out Bodies in Motion and were impressed. They also have a big indoor playground and the ratio of students to teachers there is more appropriate (it costs a little more but you get what you pay for). Ultimately, when it comes to daycare, the peace of mind from knowing that our child is being treated well and cared for is the most important factor for us. If your experience is like ours, you won't get that from Wings. I recommend against Wings Center for child care.

    The worse place to send your child. Unqualified persons taking care of your children. They all lie…read more Their stories never match up with one another. Worse administrator ever you can't talk to her she runs and hides she's a coward. One teacher told my child to shut up for the rest of the day. I went to pick up my daughter in the middle of the day all the lights were out in the whole building it was dark I don't know where all the children were. If you want your child to have low self-esteem and doubts about their character just send them to the wing center..it's dirty and it smells.
