It's not just a place for you kids to be babysat after school. They have a curriculum and focus areas for the week, with different activities that don't feel like a burden! (since they do enough learning during school). My son is often not ready to leave, when I come to pick him up, which is exactly what you would want.
We love our YClub at Prairie Elementary. Mr. Jesus has outstanding leadership skills and has built a steady, reliable team that the kids love. We look forward to his weekly newsletters to see what activities the kiddos will be focused on and appreciate his dedication to our Prairie family!
I love the teachers at my site! They have planned activities to keep the kids engaged and smiling!
we love Miss Neesha, Mr. Braydon and all the y-club staff. They make every kid feel valuable, respected and safe. The combination of structured activities and creative freedom of free play is a great after school environment.
Ms. Tonia is a kind and thoughtful program leader. We appreciate her genuine concern for all students and staff members. She does a wonderful job at growing the associates underneath her position, as well.
It helps working parents with daycare before and after school, and the kids enjoy their time being there.
The site leader and volunteers are 1000% better than last year. Our kids WANT to go to Y Care and even get upset when they are dropped off late or picked up early.
I am convinced that Ms. Melisa is an angel sent from heaven. She is a blessing to every single kid and they all love her so much. They also respect her though. They listen intently every time she speaks and I can always count on her to keep them in line. Sometimes, I will let her know in the morning if one of my kids is having a rough day and I have full confidence that she will turn their day around before she sends them to class in an hour. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She plans parties for them, she buys them gifts/prizes with her own money, she comes to their sporting events on her own time. DRE is so lucky to have Ms. Melisa and I hope she never leaves. She is absolutely one of the main reasons this program is a success, I am sure of it.
My son loves attending YClub. They do a lot of fun and educational activities. It allows him to practice social skills let out some energy.
Y club at OTE is an amazing program. The kids loves the program so much that they don’t want to be picked up early.
Consistent activities. And she enjoys it.
The staff is great and my daughter enjoys going
The staff is knowledgeable and want the kids to have a fun and safe time.
Very nice Day Camp at Hazel Grove by Unity Village. The staff is very helpful, involved and professional. Lots of field trips and activities as we
Really good experience overall. We appreciate safe and reliable care that covers our work hours and is not far from home. My kids are loved the field trips and activities this summer.
There are been some days that I've been concerned with the amount of screen time - 2 whole movies in one day is a lot and many parents could probably just have their kids watch movies while we work from home, but we send them to camp for a more active and social experience.
I like the variety of activities, and most importantly, I can tell they make an effort for each child to feel cared for and included. My child is learning and having fun.
The variety of activities is incredible! They are always so busy and having fun.
My child enjoys it!!
I just wanted to give a heartfelt shoutout to our incredible camp director at Pawnee Elementary, Jesus Rodriguez. My two daughters have shared nothing but outstanding feedback about Jesus and their experience at camp this summer.
We’ve unfortunately had some less-than-great experiences with staff at Y Care in the past, and it’s become clear just how much of a difference the right leadership can make. Jesus’ positive energy, kindness, and genuine care for the kids has made a lasting impact.
Because of him, our mornings are easier, my daughters are excited to go to camp, and we have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands. We’re truly grateful to have Jesus leading the way this summer—thank you for making such a meaningful difference in our lives!
I like the field trips and swim days.
My kid loves it and made new friends. Good care.
Hours are perfect! The kids have a blast and love all the field trips! Shaved ice weekly is a added bonus!
I like that the cabins are sorted by age, so my 1st grader is not overwhelmed by older kids.
I like that the program has a lot of hands-on fun, like painting with shaving cream, foam party, and letting kids PLAY.
Great field trips and professional, organized team.
The camp counselors were great and really on top of it! Trusted having my young son go there.
First of all, we are incredibly impressed by highland YClub this year – 2025. Two years ago, my son participated in day camp at highland elementary school the entire summer. Although the camp leader seemed to be making the most of the resources, we were disappointed that there was little to no structure, kids seemed board, computer time was available the entire day, they seemed to be stuck in the same lunchroom most of the day, etc. I picked up my son at a variety of times throughout the day due to a flex work schedule and almost every time all the kids were in two places (and two places only) the lunch room or the playground. I found that disappointing because there is an entire school with multiple staff and it seemed like a little leadership from an activities coordinator familiar with grade school children could have made some difference. Mr. C himself was very kind and my son really liked him as a person. [He even asked if Mr. C would be the leader this year.] I had a good experience with him myself but the lack of structure was disappointing.
Because of this experience we did not have my son return until this year when he was participating in summer school at highlands and thus needed after-school care. We were INCREDIBLY impressed with the camp director. I actually would have considered having my son participate the entire summer if I had known this would be the set up. They had activities, parties, very limited Chromebook time. The kids were entertained and happy. They had a schedule that made sense with quiet time, activities both inside and outside. Activities were brought in from outside sources such as build a bear. I wish Kona Ice was available for all kids because it seems very, very sad that some children do not have the opportunity to participate. Regardless, camp seemed much more like "camp" than a "daycare." The diversity of staff and professionalism of the staff has been excellent. I hope the camp director at highlands is given recognition and appreciation for her leadership and clear devotion to excellence and learning.
I appreciate how the day camp provides structure and routine during the summer while still providing fun opportunities for the campers. The weekly field trips are very varied and expose campers to new experiences.
My kid is usually sad to be picked up
My son has absolutely loved day camp. He really enjoys it and has benefited greatly from it.
We love summer day camp. Our son has a blast. He loves the new themes each week & the field trips. Kona Ice is his favorite. The staff is amazing. He does have some separation anxiety and they do everything to make drop off in the morning go smoothly whether it’s his favorite teacher coming to get him after I get my hug or another teacher calling him to come to their area to play or asking how his baseball game went the night before. They truly are amazing especially with so many kids.
I appreciate the school district providing before/after school care. My child enjoys attending and there are many activities to keep her busy. The staff is very good with the kids.
