Member Testimonials
The caretakers especially Karen really care about the kids and making sure they are safe but having fun until they can get picked up.
Our son loves the YMCA before care program at PMES! It’s a positive way to start his day
Everyone is always so nice and engaging! Ms Julie and her staff are amazing every morning.
The hosts were consistent and considerate. After school felt safe and fun for our child.
I am so thrilled that Melissa is the new manager of the Abingdon Elementary YMCA before and after care. She is excellent in every way. Please treat her well and pay her well so that she stays. They really need to have consistent staff there. All of the current staff are so warm and friendly. I love how they have created so many activities for the kids to do. Our son absolutely loves going everyday. He's upset when he can't go early in the morning to play there.
Ms Barb and her team are excellent at providing quality care. My son comes home with wonderful stories of activities and friends he’s made at the Y!
Very happy with our afterschool program. Just wish that there was an option for days off of school that aren't holidays for childcare.
convenience, the customer service is wonderful to work with, the teachers at the before and after care are great. Everyone is positive and flexible and our children love the program
Great experience, my daughter loves it !
Erica, the person who runs the program, is wonderful! She is very communicative and so kind. Our son loves her and loves going to the Y in the morning. We appreciate her so much!
My son loves the program and staff!
My daughter loves her mornings at the Y! She says great things about Mr. Jack. This makes me feel much better about having to get her there so much earlier than the other students. It’s a plus for me and her.
Great aftercare experience for my son. Good facilities at YPasadena.
Ms. Britany is awesome and so sweet! She is very attentive to the kids and has a loving, warm spirit about her that the kids seem to love and take to almost immediately!!
The other lady is very nice as well.
Great staff and great communication.
Great staff and activities!
The care and consideration that goes into managing my children each day is excellent. The team is responsive and approachable. The children are safe and engaged for the duration of their time with the Y each day.
Awesome choice for my daughter! She enjoys the before and after care enrichment activities. She is always excited to attend the Y!
Friendly, good value, good experiences
The Y is a safe place for my child to be before/after school. I like that care is provided at the school so no transportation is required. The staff are very kind and caring and provide a great environment for the kids.
My kids loved it since the first day. They actually get upset if I come "too early" for them. The staff are very caring and take the time to get to know each kids and their individual needs. I am very impressed and would recommend this program 100%.
The teachers are wonderful and create a lot of opportunities for both play and enrichment.
Ms. Julie is so caring and warm with our son! We know he's in good hands after school.
We love the environment, teachers, and vibe. Though 3 kids, we've been at Jessups YMCA for 12 years and my kids have always loved it.
Ms Alyssa has been wonderful, my daughter loves her. She plans fun activity for the kids and really interacts with them
I love how willing they are to work with children who are neurodivergent and may not fit in a perfect little box Miss Patrice has gone above and beyond to ensure that my son is able to get the resources and able to participate in activities that he may have previously been told to sit out for from other after care programs.
Everyone is friendly and takes time to get to know and care about your child.
We love Mrs. Phillips she is caring and dedicated.
Mr. Devon, Ms. Chelsea, and the rest of the crew are awesome. They are so loving, so patient, and enforce good behavior at the same time.

Ms Julie and all the helpers there are wonderful . Josie always wants to stay there instead of coming home. We are very grateful for the Y .
