Member Testimonials
We love our experience with the preschool, the associates are kind and professional and always go the extra mile to support our kids. However I am disappointed with the change in meal service, I do understand cost being a factor. But with weekly cost of care increasing by 20+ dollars for some classrooms this school year, and adding the additional $50 weekly charge for food, the change in price for the same experience seems drastically different. Factoring multiple children in care, the added cost for food is not realistic for most families. The food service was a great benefit as it allowed for the children to have nutritious meals and try new things. I appreciate the communication and will continue to sing the praises of the Towson Y Preschool!
Amazing teachers, great program
The staff are always respectful and treat my Son care.
great place we have been attending for years
The teachers are amazing, supportive, and dedicated to helping all children learn and grow. Our child was more than prepared to succeed in Kindergarten (but we wished we could’ve continued on with Y Chipmunks for all of our school years!)
Ms. Walker and the team of educators are incredible! They have been so attentive, kind, and supportive during First name removed’s transition. Thank you!
Fantastic location and great diversity of children and staff members. My daughter is happy everyday and is always learning and playing. Great teachers always seems enjoy being there with kids
My son's love their Preschool experience! I know the associates care deeply for my child and I know they are happy and safe. Leadership is communicative and go above and beyond to support out family. I hope there will continue to be opportunities for us to be more connected with other families and the family centers.
I highly recommend the Y Preschool because my son has attended since he was six months old. During his time there, he has developed strong reading skills, learned how to interact positively with other children, and gained confidence in a structured learning environment. The teachers have provided a caring and supportive atmosphere that has helped prepare him both academically and socially for kindergarten. I truly appreciate the positive impact the Y Preschool has had on his growth and development.
We love all the kind teachers at preschool who make our daughter feel safe and loved.
They are a close-knit community with a wonderful director who is always smiling and warmly greeting everyone as they enter the building. I love their playground because it is spacious and provides plenty of room for the children to play, explore, and learn. I also appreciate the positive way the staff interacts with both the children and their families, creating a welcoming, supportive, and caring environment.

Truly the best preschool experience we’ve ever experienced! The teachers are all wonderful and genuinely care about the kids. My son loved his time as a Chipmunk!
Our daughter has been in after-school care since she started kindergarten this year. She had a great experience.
We love our preschool family! My son's are happy and safe, I know their teachers are extremely caring, and the leadership is amazing. I appreciate all the hard work they put in to making the experience special for all the kids, graduation, fall fest, in house field trips, trunk or treat. I hope we can partner more with Orokawa and have a FISH pool party this year!
Resources, staff, teachers, content, EVERYTHING!
They are very nice, caring people. Makes me feel like I’m leaving my daughter with family. Would recommend to everyone that has children 2-5.
From the teachers to the amazing director, communication is always clear and timely. My child is excited to go to school, learns so much, and has a wonderful time.
Great experience love the associates! Consider having registration on a day when customer service is open and it is not a holiday, it would be less stressful for all!
The teachers are kind a knowledgeable, the administration is amazingly compassionate. My son's feel safe and loved at the Towson Preschool. Families are involved and there are looks of fun seasonal and community building activities!
Super friendly staff :)
The staff is so friendly and welcome, my child feels safe and important and it is clean and well maintained. We like the possibility of flexible schedules and the swift pick up and drop off process
The teachers have done an awesome job with my son that has a speech delay.
We really like how everyone works with the children.
The community and commitment to the care of each family is unmatched!
My little one is very happy and has thrived as a whole person from day one. The teachers are very supportive and have aligned the program with some of the best practices in childcare today. They seem to refine their approach everyday. they are very responsive to the individual needs of my little one. I love how my little one has all these tools he can reach for to deal with BIG emotions. He has learned so much about navigating multiple friendships, and how to move one from one room to the next. The Y Preschool has really been a place where my little one has blossomed over the years!
My children have a had a great time at the Betty Sterner preschool. My son entered Kindergarten 100% ready and I know my daughter will do the same next year. She loves going to school and seeing the wonderful teachers and great friends!
Chipmunks is wonderful.
We absolutely love the Y preschool. Mr. Bob and Ms. Vonda are the dream team. All of our teachers have been wonderful. We can drop our daughter off each morning knowing she is in great hands. :)

What I like most about my Y experience is being able to come to work every day and make a difference in the lives of the children. I really enjoy watching them learn, grow, and reach new milestones, and it’s rewarding to know that I’m a part of that. I’ve also enjoyed getting to know the families and building relationships with the children in my classroom. Working at the Y has given me more experience as an early childhood educator and has helped me grow both personally and professionally.
