Member Testimonials
The teachers are all very engaged and wonderful with the kids. I also really appreciate the diversity of activities they have in the classrooms (music, yoga, swimming, Spanish).
We love the childcare program at the YMCA! The teachers are nurturing, engaging, and reliable. We have been a part of the childcare for over 4 years now and couldn’t be happier. Our oldest was more than prepared for Kindergarten when he graduated from the Montessori program. Our other two children are learning and growing every day!
Amazing teachers and programs. Always feel like child is safe and learning. Compared to KinderCare it is a world of difference.
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

We really appreciate the programs and activities offered. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and caring with our children, and it shows in how happy and comfortable they are each day. 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.

Everything! I love the CELC and Montessori programs, the teachers, and all of the fun and exciting activities (swim, yoga, music, Spanish, & all of of the fun extra after school activities) they offer! When moving to PA, I looked at a number of schools but without question the YMCA was my #1; we are so happy the kids got spots right as soon as we moved!

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere in waiting area. Clean facilities throughout. Equipment almost always in good repair. Enough equipment so little wait time if any

My whole family are members of YMCA for the last year and I can't say nothing but very good things about our experience. My son is attending YMCA's Montessori class and he came from "I don't want to go" to "You better drive me to my group today, Dad!". I see his interest and I see how do teachers care about kids and how their hard, important and active work delivers strong results. In overall, I would like to thank all of YMCA's staff members for your hard work to keep this place like home for so many people. We do really appreciate it.
