The teachers were amazing very attentive to the children
Sherman location was well organized and beautiful property. The teachers were lively and pleasant. It would be great to upgrade Belair early childhood center the same way. The teacher's in the Belair location are the best and they do such an excellent job in a building that needs lots of improvements.
The Y Headstart program was a true blessing to my family. Every single staff member I encountered showed my family the upmost respect. Very loving and welcoming. I’m thankful my children had a chance to be apart of the headstart and summer program for 2 years in a row. Thanks for all you did!!

My son attended the Y Sherman Early Childhood Center for two years, and during that time he grew so much both academically and personally. His teacher, Mrs. Davis, played a big role in that. Each week she sent home homework, and whenever my son needed extra help, she made sure he got it. She even provided additional study guides tailored to his needs, which made a big difference. The entire staff at the center has always been exceptionally kind and supportive. We’re grateful for everything they’ve done.
The teachers and administrators gave personalized attention to our daughter and family. The Sherman Early Childhood Center was a great learning environment for our daughter. She developed confidence and skills that will help her excel in kindergarten and beyond!
Great.
Great learning experience for my daughter. I like the fact that during her time there, she was safe and learned a lot. Thank you all!
