The Fairborn Y sits somewhere in the middle. Not new, not dilapidated. The free weight room is a converted racquetball court. The exercise machines are all in great condition, but feel squished together into one smaller room, so that when you are using the chest fly machine, you can feel the breath of the guy on the leg press machine and the grunts of the barbell warrior vibrate in your chest. It is close quarters, but everyone is polite. The locker rooms are located in a back hallway and up a couple steps and I don't know about accessibility options, but it is also tight quarters in the locker rooms, especially the bathrooms. Two stalls are jammed into a corner, so plan your potty visits with time to spare. It definitely gets the job done and you can get a great workout in if you already know what you are doing. But for people new to the gym or to working out, I think they could do a better job of making you feel welcome and making it clear who you can go to for questions if you have them. The front desk folks were friendly, but the three times I have been there so far, the staff member in the weight room is on the computer or their phone and doesn't even look up to acknowledge people who are at the water cooler 3 feet away. I'm not entirely sure they ARE an employee. All in all, it is a solid workout and a fine stop if you find yourself in town. You can't beat the YMCA network and as I travel all over, I am grateful to have a place to get my sweat on.

When our son first started at La Petite in Beavercreek when he was 2 1/2 things were pretty good…read more He liked his teacher; the director was good; our son seemed to be learning new things. However, when he turned 4 and switched to the front "room" (aka open space) with the older kids, things went downhill. The teacher turnover rate was high; the kids are in an "open" area near the front lobby, so there are lots of distractions; and it was often very chaotic when we dropped him off, which would immediately send our son into overdrive! Our son has ADHD and really needed a calm, competent, experienced teacher (or at least some ADHD accommodations) to help him, but that never happened. In fact, we would sometimes get phone calls to come and pick our son up because they couldn't manage his behavior. One time he 'spit' at a teacher (not acceptable but also not surprising considering that when my husband dropped him off several boys were running, screaming, and slamming bathroom doors)! He'd only been at school one hour when we got the call to come get him. Guess the teacher had no clue what to do with a 4-year-old boy who spits. I had to quit working that day, but still had to pay La Petite, of course! And, even more frustrating, by the time we got there, our son had already moved on from the incident and was happily playing outside on the playground. He didn't even know why he was being picked up. When we talked to the director and told her that our son was doing great (with no complaints from his teacher) on the mornings he went to his other specialized school, we were told by the director that La Petite is more of a "play based" school and that our son probably should be in a more structured school. Ironically, that is not what La Petite advertises on their website. They appear to promote STEM learning, and "meeting the needs of every child" but I can tell you from first-hand experience, and from the comments from several other parents we know, that is not what's happening there much of the time. It seems many of the teachers are just in "survival mode" in a space that often resembles a zoo. So, here's my advice: Do NOT choose this school if you: 1) Have a child with any special needs, including ADHD 2) Want your child to learn in a well-organized, calm, clean environment 3) Want to be able to work the hours you need to at your job (without getting phone calls to come get your kid) 4) Want a steady, calm, competent teacher with years of experience who understands the behavior of small children and knows how to manage them 5) Want to get what you pay for -- La Petite is NOT cheap!

Updated Review:…read more We've been YMCA since 2016 and overall have been happy. They do a good job of keeping the place clean and updated as much as they can. I appreciated that they have tried to add more classes with only one room and the gym. They have made a cycling room, which I hear offers great classes. They also added a midday yoga class, which is great when the kids are in school. I would like more daytime classes then evenings because that is better for my schedule. Childwatch is usually not busy, which is great. I do not use it anymore so I'm not sure on anything specific for childcare these days. Youth sports are affordable and the directors do a good job of making sure the kids are having fun and playing fair. It's nice they have a pool, but the schedule is hard to understand of exactly when open swim is. I also wish they would have a slide, like Coffman or something fun for the kids. The new director and new fitness director are really doing their best trying to improve the West Carrollton YMCA. Overall happy to be a member just wish they could make the place a bit bigger.

My child was only going part time in the pre-toddler room, 3 days a week, yet he was ALWAYS sick! And when I say "always" I mean just that. No, not just your typical cold and runny noses. I get children will pass things on, I mean after all this was NOT his first daycare facility and I didn't have any issues at his prior. My job required me to leave the state so I ended up in Ohio at this horrible place. The front desk ladies are nice, I'm not too fond of the new director they had gotten during our time there but the teachers I wasn't too fond of...Sue, Brandy and I forgot the other brunette's name. I'm getting ahead of myself...my son was always sick because of the lack of cleaning going on in the facility. They can make the facility look clean in the sense of nothing out of place but the germs are living strong. I know there were various dinosaur toys in his room that were NOT being properly cleaned. I am use to dipping all the toys in hot sanitized water twice a day, during their nap and at the end of the day. None of this went on here. Also my son ALWAYS cried when I left him there, says a lot. Also one day his daily sheet read no wet diaper until 3pm that afternoon, I dropped him off at 8am everyday and I am thankful they didn't think ahead to lie on his sheet but how they thought only 1 wet diaper was acceptable in the hot summer is beyond me!! No drinks of water throughout the hot summer day and even if it weren't summer my kid and yours deserves unlimited amounts of clean, fresh and cold water. My poor child, thirsty all that time! The food is pretty limited too. He was ALWAYS hungry when I picked him up and he's an excellent eater! Also! I did a pop up on them and he was locked in an area in so much distress the teachers even looked at me like "uh oh, we're caught". The dry diapers were my last straw as with the croup illness he got and passed to his brother who didn't even go to the facility. My oldest son had a terrible breathing issue because of this croup he got from my youngest attending this dirty school! Do NOT send your child. If you want care In Huber heights I suggest early beginnings ! Loved it there just keep track of your account!

We use our curriculum to enhance the children's creativity while also having fun. The connections I have made with each kid and even the parents are something I will treasure. Each kid is special and I love being even a small impact in their life. I enjoy taking the school agers to school and seeing the light in their eyes as they run to the entrance of their school. Over the summer I took the school agers on field trips such as the zoo, Paul Brown Stadium, the pool, and many more and I loved seeing them learn and see them experience new things with their friends. I love Wee-Haven!!
