Been member of a couple where the pool is tucked away in the basement and feels forgotten. This Y's pool is RIGHT THERE when you come in...in plain sight and beautiful. The locker rooms are just that...nothing fancy but clean and bright. A great feature is the 7/24 access to the fitness studio. Pass some basic background checks (a great way to keep out folks you'd prefer not to have in the facility without supervision) and you get a fob to put on your keychain or wherever...and you get into the fitness center ANYTIME. No access to the gyms or showers, but that's cool. A great feature. All in all...a bargain and a asset to the community...which is amazing...a full blown YMCA in a town of 7500....join!!

I have worked here for about 5 years and have been working daycare for about 8. This is the nicest…read morefacility I have worked at in Lake Geneva. We follow an appropriate age based curriculum in each classroom (Infants to school age kiddos). Each teacher is required to complete assistant teacher and eventually a lead teacher certification. The center even pays for your continuing education hours! The director works hard to keep our classroom in ratio or even under ratio as to not stress us out! I ab love working with all the kiddos and being able to help shape them theough education. We use an app where we communicate everyday with parents and can track the developmental progress/activities each child completes. This center also has a very supportive staff which is hard to come by!

Lake Geneva Daycare Center is a licensed business since 1965 with trained staff. I have been…read moreworking for this business for five years. My daughter was also enrolled at this daycare center at age of 2 to present. The staff at Lake Geneva Daycare Center is always happy and lovable to children. I love the way that staff disciplines, interact with children,and communicates with parents. Lake Geneva Daycare Center has separate age groups and the teachers are responsables to have a daily schedule and a weekly curriculum. Which includes Math, Reading,and Movement. I will definitely recommend this center to other parents, children are always clean and happy I will give this center a 5 star rating. Fewer than one in three children today have a full- time stay at home parent. In 1975 only a generation ago, more than half of all children had a stay at home parent. Researchers found that children perform higher on standardized language and cognitive test when the daycare provides developmentally appropriate activities and when caregivers are responsive to children's' needs. Children who attend Lake Geneva Daycare improve their social and cognitive development. In 2013, 4.8 million children attended a daycare facility. Those numbers will continue to rise tremendously in the future. Lake Geneva Daycare Center is inspected by state officers to make sure is a safe environment for children to be in. Lake Geneva Daycare is also convenient for parents with hectic work schedules find daycare facility an easy and affordable solution. Daycare can also provide better interactions with others. For example children might learn how to resolve issues with others which can be a valuable life- long lesson. Lake Geneva Daycare Center is very reliable sources with licensed staff. Staff members are by law required to complete the following courses.; CPR, Shaken Baby Syndrome, Introduction to the childcare profession, and Skills and Strategies for the childcare Teacher. CPR knowledge is necessary in Lake Geneva Daycare Center, while working with children because there could be incident where a child can be choking or injured. Teachers should have a little knowledge about children. This will prepare the teachers on what to expect from kids and their behavior. The goals of these required courses to prepare teachers from managing a classroom, communicating with families, supporting children social, emotional, physical, and intellectual developmentally appropriate way. Children who start daycare or preschool have better peer relationship. Children who attend these programs are more likely to do well in schools, find jobs, and succeed in their careers. As a mother and Lake Geneva Daycare provider I believe that children will gain great advantages attending a this daycare center not only in knowledge, but also social which will get them on the road to success.

What a disappointment.

My family moved to the area a few years ago and had been "Church shopping" for awhile since we…read moredidn't have a church in the area. We immediately felt welcome at Our Redeemer without being tackled by people recognizing us as guests. We joined the church as members about 2 1/2 years ago and have enjoyed meeting some great people. Out two children (5 & 7) do not attend the school since we live about 20 minutes away, but I would send them here if we lived closer. The kids do love the Sunday school program though. There are two types of services, traditional and contemporary. Services are at 8:00 and 10:30 and are traditional "order of worship" services except for the 8:00am services on the second and fourth Sundays, which are contemporary. Usually the 8:00 services are busier than the 10:30 services, but even at the 8:00 service, it's not crowded. Holidays do get pretty full, so try and come 15-20 minutes early. Otherwise, you can usually pull in around 5-10 minutes before the service starts and still comfortably get to your seats. Contemporary at the church is a few guitar players, piano, drums, and a half-dozen singers. The songs are very singable and not too "wild". Our family really likes the contemporary services, and I find they keep the kids' attention better as well. Don't let the thought of a contemporary service scare you, there's no hands waving in the air here, like you'll find at large non-denominational churches. I'm a pretty conservative guy and find the services comfortable. Something else I noticed about the church as a newcomer, was that I didn't feel pressured to make offerings. This could be good or bad for the church, but as a newcomer, I liked not feeling the pressure. After having been a member for awhile, I have actually given more because I WANTED to, not because I felt the pressure to. Overall, if you're looking for a new welcoming church, or are coming back to church after having been away for a few years, this is the church for you.

I would recommend this facility to every family that needs child care. Very affordable and 100% satisfaction on the relationships my kids have with every teacher!
