Member Testimonials
I feel great about my daughter participating in the before/after school program here. The staff are absolutely fantastic and they support her so well
The teachers are wonderful and seem to really direct everything towards the student’s personal level of needs. My son loves going to school. My younger son will join the chipmunks next year. We are very pleased with our experience there so far.
My son has learned so much and really enjoys going to school. I also enjoy all the extra activities they hold to include the parents.
The staff is friendly and consistent with the children. they know the names of all the kids even if they aren't in their "class". The staff at this Y have been great. they could improve on communication especially in the area of what our children eat while in care. Lunch leftovers are often thrown away so I have no idea if the food i packed was ate or thrown away.

I love everything- the schedule, routine, efforts to keep everyone healthy, location, and the fabulous teachers and director and assistant director who work hard every day for every kid. Thank you for all you do!
We love this school! Great teachers, safe environment, very clean. Mr. Bob and Ms. Tara go above and beyond for my two children. They always come home with wonderful stories from their day. Its a great feeling as a mom to leave your kids and know that they are being well taken care of , so you can work!
Caring teachers and good curriculum.
It’s clean, well maintained, the staff is very understanding and works with my needs and recommendations.
Teachers are amazing. They are so attentive and actually teach the children how to be more independent.
The curriculum is fantastic and they always tell the parents what they are focusing on that week so that we can continue that focus at home.
I love the Y Chipmunks program. It is exactly the set up my family needs. I do not need a daycare program; I wanted something that prepared my children for kindergarten and then they were able to come home. The staff is amazing and I couldn't be happier.
I love that the teachers have developed such a strong relationship with my child and that my daughter is excited to go learn.
The people who work there are great!
The Y has been an awesome program for our 4.5 year old over the last two years. She has had great teachers, an awesome play environment and learned so much.
We love the Finksburg YMCA Chipmunks program. We trust the teachers and are extremely comfortable sending our kids there.
We had truly the most wonderful, MAGICAL preschool experience with both our children over the last 5 years. Even with Covid and interruptions that came along with it, the chipmunks school and teachers were part of our family. CHERYL ROSENDAHL IS THE MOST special, incredible human to ever run a preschool program and we are so thankful to have had our two children be under her care and supervision. Her love, dedication and trustworthy nature is unlike anything I ever thought possible for my children. Thank you will never be enough.
I love Y Chipmunks! The teachers are great!
The staff is friendly and consistent. They do their best and I feel that every time I drop my child off to learn.
The Y preschool staff are warm, friendly, and welcoming. They treat my kids like their own. The preschool is a nurturing and enriching place where I feel confident sending my kids each day.
Everyone in the entire building seems to know and care about my child, not just their classroom teacher. The option to have my child enrolled in sports mix is a nice perk.
My daughter loves her teachers and has made great friends at the preschool. She is excited to start elementary school this fall, and her experience at the Towson preschool has prepared her for it.

We love it!
