We signed up today, worked out for 30 minutes, then picked up our son to find out on our own once we checked his bag, that he was fed a bottle that was not his. He consumed someone else's breast milk and or formula. We're still waiting on their staff to resolve this issue. If you're a parent, I don't have to explain the concern, frustration and worry that comes along with this. Needless to say this was SO not what we expected from the YMCA. We will not be back. Be careful who you decide to leave your children with.

The staff is very helpful when we have questions about schedules and activities. We take advantage of the child drop off which allows us to workout and gives our kids something to do. They have daily drop off times which is helpful. We also enjoy the pool and hot tub, as well as the ability to go to any other YMCA in the area and use their facilities. It is a great value for our family of 5 and while we have only been members for a month, we look forward to our weekly visits and it has become part of our routine.

The prices have gone up multiple times per year. My child's room has closed so many times with no warning only to be told it was closing indefinitely in the fall. We are extremely happy with where we are now and saving 50$ a week. I wish we had switched earlier.

I feel no sense of safety or assurance that our kids are taken care of. We've come to check our phones daily to ensure we have a spot available that day. This daycare adds stress to our daily lives - which is crazy since it costs thousands of dollars per month. Take your kids somewhere else!!

She wasn't very friendly and after observing awhile snapping at the Staff and actually rude to one. The way you treat staff also indicates how children are treated. The two school age classrooms Nursery and Pre-K were not really engaged in learning, It is important to play but also be learning as young minds develop quickly. There were a few older staff which was reassuring as nurturing is so important especially with babies. We continue to look, but this center needs some more experienced staff who are teachers and not just playing. We have a Pre-K child and want him to learn. My husband forgot something inside and when returned overheard the one woman commenting on our visit and didn't care if we came as we were to picky-Wow-I wouldn't recommend this place and my friends that have children there I will mention the unprofessionalism this blonde woman had.

Since then, they have grown to love two more of our children and have taken care of them all in every way. Our daughter was extremely well prepared for kindergarten after finishing preK. The center never closed due to staffing issues etc. They are extremely knowledgeable and competent with food allergies. Most importantly, I always knew my children were going to be loved and deeply cared for when I dropped them off in the morning. They have made lasting friendships and their teachers remember them for years after they left their class. It is a special place and we feel extremely lucky to be a part of it.
