My child has been attending for several months now and we're having a good experience overall…read more Although I do wish sometimes that communication was better, it's really good taking into consideration how many young children are in their care. The staff seem to genuinely care for my baby, which is nice. I really like having the app to see what's going on throughout the day, though it's only as good as the events logged by the staff. Getting several pictures of my baby every day when they are at daycare makes being apart a little easier. In my five months as a customer so far, there has been one misunderstanding about dates the nursery was open/closed due to inconsistent materials on the holiday schedule, and there has been one morning when no one was on site to take care of the children when the center opened, and one of the parents had to call Christina to let her know about the issue, and so we had to just wait there in the lobby with our kiddos until someone arrived (bless you, Kathy!). This is not easy work, so I would say the cost is justified. I'm really grateful for the care my child has received from the staff here and look forward to continuing to partner with them in caring for my child when I am unable to do so myself.

They are always prompt with communication and any reassurance, as I can sometimes be a a mom with such needs. Lol Sarah is truly educated on the education and development of young children with several degrees and continued education for her self and sweet staff to give the best care for little ones. My daughter adores them both personally and will climb right in their lap or give hugs. They give an extended family feel combined with all the pluses of the larger scale facilities out there with organization, activities, outings. They even do Christmas Carols and cookie deliveries during the holidays! They run the care between two homes that are side by side and always clean and comfortable for the kids. They give the kids a home like feel, yet the spaces are 100% gear towards the children.

This place is super rad! Everyone that works here has been so lovely, the facility and pools are in…read moretop notch shape, it's not what I expected from the YMCA at all (and I don't know why I had all the preconceived notions) It's cleaner and nicer than all the gyms I've been to, the instructors are engaging and helpful. I really can't say enough good. The one thing I could do without is the sideways looks of the Sherwood/Lake Oswego winery wives in the locker room, where I'm sure I must be committing SOME faux pas. Look Olivia Newton John, doing your hair in 4 inch heels... calm the hell down. This isn't the Equinox - you're at the Y, for chrissakes. But, that's definitely not the gym's fault, and perhaps it says something about the quality of the facilities. Also, this place gets BUSY, the gym is huge and absolutely can handle it, but when I first arrived (5:30 am) I was cracking up at the football field sized parking lot, well, when I left at 8:15, it was almost full and someone was waiting to take my parking spot. Also funny to note, although completely unrelated: the electronic billboard as you're approaching the stoplight to turn in, obviously funded by a disgruntled local businessman who got one speeding ticket too many, that tells of all the speed traps on the 99. So watch your speed coming in, folks!!!!!

I signed up for a membership in person and then took a tour of the facility which was nice, but did…read morenot have one of the features I needed. It was really important to have this feature and I had seen photos of it on the ymca website so I asked the 2 women at the front desk to please cancel the membership I just signed up for. They said they didn't know how to refund the $50 membership fee so they would have to ask the next day. It didn't get done and then I received an email from Laura Gonzales the membership coordinator saying all I could get was a $50 credit. How am I supposed to use that? It's completely useless. I am very upset about this. It's not the money, it's the principal of it. How they advertise they are family friendly and all that, then pull a fast one and keep your money and you get nothing for it because you changed your mind mid-sign up. I hadn't even left the building!

This was my first time hiring a sitter I did not previously know, and my first time using an app to…read morefind childcare, so needless to say I was nervous and did not know what to expect. However, the app is very well designed with a thorough set up process for the parent, detailing the needs of your children so that you don't have to repeat yourself every time you speak with or hire a sitter-the information is entered and viewable by the sitter you confirm. This makes hiring a sitter again as easy as setting a date, choosing which sitter friends to invite, and then choosing which one to confirm of those that accept the job. I was pleasantly surprised! The app was very efficient for setting up a sitter, and Brenda arrived promptly and was a huge hit with my boys. She took them to the park, kept the tv off even with multiple requests from my 5 year old, and even got my 18 month old down in his bed for a nap (practically impossible!) As she was leaving, my 5 year old was telling her all about what they would do next time she came, he had such a good time! Payment was completely handled in the app, Brenda used the app to clock in upon arrival, and to clock out when she left, so those extra 10 minutes she stayed due to me hitting traffic on my way back home were no problem at all. The extra time was prorated and charged to my credit card so that she got paid for every minute, and I didn't have to worry about a few extra minutes costing me another hour, or any hard feelings from the sitter if she unexpectedly had to stay late. I will be using the app again, I love the speed that you can find a sitter (had 3 sitters accept in the first 20 minutes!), the versatility of time provided, and the quality of service provided. Highly recommend.
