Member Testimonials

I love that my child gets exposure to Spanish Lessons, Swimming, Gymnastics, Yoga & Music while she’s in school.

We love all the enrichment programs at the WC YMCA CELC. Swim during school hours is a huge draw. The outdoor playground and nice daylight filled classrooms brought us out to airport road vs. the oscar lasko location. Music, yoga, and gymnastics are a big hit for our littles. Since we've settled in, the teachers have become engrained into our family's lives and it's hard to imagine raising our kiddos without their support. In particular: Laura (ones), Delanie, Brittany, Cynthia, Brett, Megan, Assia, Alex, Jennifer, Senora Welch, Bridget, Taylor

The YMCA has a variety of activities and classes.

We’ve also been very impressed with the curriculum—our kids are learning so much and are exposed to a wide variety of experiences that support their development. Overall, the combination of a nurturing environment and thoughtful, engaging activities makes this program truly special.

Our family has loved being apart of the Y's Montessori program! We love our boy's teachers (Assia, Natalia Anna and Laura) and feel that they are doing an excellent job helping them grow academically, socially and emotionally. We are grateful for all that they have done for our boys and look forward to the remaining years they have with this program!

My children’s teachers have been so amazing, they really take the time to get to know my kids as individuals, which has been huge in my kids learning and development.

We love the teachers and the Montessori program for our boys. They are learning, growing, and responding so well to the structure. The teachers are dedicated and caring. We are so appreciative for their thoughtful approach to their daily routines and activities. It's also amazing the exposure they are getting to music, spanish, yoga, and swimming lessons included in the program.

The West Chester-Airport Road YMCA is simply amazing. Our children attend the Montessori school and they love it! The teachers are wonderful, kind, knowledgeable, and caring towards our children. We feel that it's an absolute blessing that our children get to attend the school and we also love the facility. We 100% recommend that any parent should consider bringing their children to attend the Montessori!

Our family is heavily involved with WCA CELC, Montessori and Summer Camp offerings, as well as the OLY/Greater Brandywine Gymnastics team. We love the wide range of activity offerings and the facility itself. We also really enjoy the outdoor the indoor pools. But what is truly unmatched is the staff at WCA and OLY, and the YMCA community members.

The daycare at the YMCA has been fantastic for our children. We have had a very positive experience with all the teachers and staff and highly recommend their center. Our children are always happy at dropoff/pickup and have been learning new things every day.

We love the staff! Ms. Laura I. Twos, has been wonderful with our daughter, and now son. We could not ask for better support. She is patient, caring, kind and loves these kids like her own. We could not have picked a better daycare. Also want to shout out Ms Brittany in babies and Ms. Stacey in threes and all the wonder aides ( Kelly, delanie. Ms Bridget, and Ms Alex).

I really appreciate the overall experience your programs and activities provide. The teachers and staff are incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated—they create such a warm and supportive environment.

The special subjects are also a huge highlight. Zumba, yoga, swim, Spanish, and the guest reader sessions are all amazing additions that make the program feel well-rounded and exciting. They offer such fun, meaningful variety and give the kids opportunities to learn and explore in so many different ways. Overall, the combination of great staff and exceptional activities makes the program truly outstanding.

I like the diversity in what my child does each day/week and the healthy mix of incorporating school work with free time, swimming, yoga, zumba, etc. I never feel like my child is missing out on important skill building exercises when at the Y.
