Afterschool Parent Testimonials
Our son is engaged and active, all while having a great time. This year is different than normal due to the abnormal circumstances related to COVID, but we’ve been really pleased.
Presidential Meadows Parent
My kids never want to leave! They love the counselors and enjoy the activities and help with homework provided by the Y. It is a safe and positive environment.
Lagos Elementary Parent
The Y is understanding and the prices are good, especially for a single parent with one income. I can never thank you enough!
Negley Elementary Parent
I appreciate all the help I get from this after school program: helping the kids with homework and engaging educational activities. My son loves going to YMCA after school, and to see and know that he loves going back makes me happy. Thank you for providing us some parents like myself that need financial support in order to me to make ends meet.
Blake Manor Elementary Parent
The kids have a wonderful time at YMCA Afterschool. They have time for kids to do their homework, play active games in the gym, and provide snacks. The staff is nice and great with kids. My kids don’t want to leave when I pick them up. The best part is that it is right at the kids school so they don’t have to take a bus. I highly recommend YMCA afterschool care.
Jollyville Elementary Parent
Hard working counselors that connect with the kids – always friendly, courteous and respectful.
Laurel Mountain Parent
My son loves YMCA! He never wants me to pick him up early. He comes home with all kinds of crafts every day and says everyone is nice to him. As a parent what more could you want :)
UT Elementary Parent
Your counselors are warm and very caring of our children, your programs are clear and executed in a very safe manner, and my child was consistently very happy in the program. He was devastated to have to leave!
Canyon Creek Parent
Program is convenient and affordable. Staff help kids get homework done and provide structured activities. Kids are respected, while also holding them accountable for their actions. Great program!
