What do you like about our program and activities?

Ms. Haley and Ms. Thalia are incredible. They are deeply kind and caring. They somehow maintain order in a classroom of many different children with different needs, gifts and challenges. They give my daughter personalized attention, build her self esteem, responsibility, creativity and curiosity. She says, “I love Ms. Haley and Ms. Thalia. I love when Ms. Haley teaches us in centers and when Ms. Thalia sits with me.”

Dear Allie and Tamara,

There truly aren’t enough words to thank you both for the magic you create every single day in your classroom. The creativity, patience, thoughtfulness and joy you pour into these little humans is something so special to witness as a parent.

You somehow manage to make learning feel like magical adventure, kindness feel cool and everyday moments feel exciting and meaningful … you both honestly deserve a gold medal🏅😉!

Beyond the crafts, songs, stories and playtime, you’re teaching these littles how to be kind, curious, prepared and confident people. Those lessons matter more than anything♥️

I feel incredibly lucky not only that Tucker has you as teachers, but that I also get to call you my friends. Thank you for loving all these kiddos, for giving so much of yourselves and for making this season of childhood feel so joyful and magical.

We adore you both more than you know.

Love,

First name removed, Mark, Jack and Tucker

A special Thank you, Shea and Melanie, for being so kind and patient with Ezra. Starting daycare was a big transition for him, and seeing how much he’s already opening up says so much about the environment you’ve created. It really gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. You guys are the best!

We love our TEACHERS!!! Miss Kim and Miss Jocelyn have the most calming and nurturing presence. Our son really turned a corner in their class. He has taken on more responsibility with his daily routine, is excited to go to school, and loves to share all the things he learns in class. The Emerald room is THE BEST, and we are so grateful to be at The YMCA ELC, the entire staff greets us with kindness and love every day.

What do you like about our program and activities?

We love that our preschooler has access to the gymnastics room, pool, and gymnasium for sports through the week. This focus on diverse physical growth has fostered a confidence and adeptness to these sports in a way that would likely be impossible by just attending at nights and weekends.
