Member Testimonials
Very responsible, kind, and they take very good care of my son. 100% recommended.
It's a great program and the price is affordable for a single parent like myself. My kids get to make friends and they enjoy their time.
I love all of the staff at Twin Lakes Elementary I couldn’t ask for more. They always seem to go above and beyond for all of the children in the program. There attention to details involving all of the children never cease to amaze me I will forever be grateful for the YMCA staff.
Numerous activities for all ages, friendliness.
The staff at Mitchell Elementary are great. My son has fun during the aftercare program playing sports with his friends.
Excellent service
Kids Been going here 3 years we love it
Tienen muy buena atención y cuidado con los niños
The staff is great. My kid love being there.
I am at peace when my kids are at the YMCA after school care. Ms. Claudia at the afterschool in Essrig is the best, always reporting back to the parents. She always has a smile on her face, very friendly and takes good care of the kids. Ms. Claudia is the best!
The YMCA Director at Twin Lakes Elementary is beyond the best. I have no worries while my daughter is in her care. She is fair with all the students but while I am at work I am comfortable with her there. She has an excellent program and we will definitely be using next year if she is there
We love zeke! Our son is always happy when he leaves!
Los niños están muy bien cuidados y seguros en la ymca, las maestras son muy buenas y atentas, hacen actividades con ellos. Los niños se divierten y aprenden también en ese tiempo después de clases.
My child loves to spend time at the afterschool YMCA. He tells me he gets to play and make extra friends. They are very nice people. I will continue to have my child at the Y as long as my kid wants. Thank you!
Value for money, Quality of care.
Staff is great and so many different activities for kids to do
Our kids have attended the Y since they started kindergarten. Both were in the afterschool program and one is still attending. We love all the activities and programs offered to our kids. The staff is great and just overall a great program
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our son absolutely loved this basketball program. The coaches were incredibly patient, encouraging, and made every session both fun and engaging. You can tell they truly care about helping each child improve while keeping things positive and confidence-building. Zach Murphy runs a fantastic program, undoubtedly the best inter mural program in the area.
A very nice place , very professional
Tienen buen equipo, están atentos a la recogida de los niños, ayudan a mi chica con las tareas, hacen un gran esfuerzo para mantener a los chicos bajo control! Me gusta 👏 👏
It’s great knowing there’s an after school
Option that is fun for my kid

This YMCA it’s great
My daughter loves latchkey at Carrollwood K8!
My son is on the spectrum and has had trouble in other programs. The staff at Ippolito aftercare are wonderful
My kids love it here
Muy bueno el programa los profesores estupendo mis claudia la mejor todo perfecto gracias
This would be a 10 out of 10 if everybody was as great as Ms. Jessalyn. She is absolutely incredible and my son really enjoys his time with her. She is so kind and understanding and always willing to take feedback. Both my son and I feel very heard. She is what makes this program great, 100%! The other team member id like to highlight is Jordan from the mornings. He is great and always has a nice and calming attitude especially with how hectic morning drop offs can be. I know my son starts his day off well.
Certain team members though are very opposite from those mentioned and I notice my son has tougher days when I see them when I pick him up. I have brought it up to Ms. Jessalyn and she is definitely making sure we are heard and she does a great job leading the way.
Thank you!
My son has the best time at Gorrie BASE YMCA program. He talks about how much fun he has and begs to stay late. For two working parents, it’s a huge relief to know he’s so well cared for.

Convenience, wonderful staff.
