the people how at the desch

Friendly and helpful employees. Always a smile and positivity! Great facility and many opportunities for healthy life.

Shout out to the awesome kids club staff, especially Tina! My daughter loves kids club, and the grown-ups there are great to work with from a parent perspective. I also find this Y clean and functional every time I’m there, the staff are friendly, and I love the buzz of community in the cafe.

Fantastic tumbling classes that are effective and available to girls in all age ranges.

Ms. Giselle is extremely patient with our four year old. She runs a structured and smooth gymnastics class

Great facility, friendly and helpful staff.

The coaches are amazing! Very well run

Thank you Ms. Katy and Ms. Alma for being great teachers and always having a fun filled classroom. We love our teachers !

Matt Lane the sports director is terrific! Over the last year, my 2 grandsons have been involved in basketball programs ranging from skills and drills and progressing to travel teams. Matt is wonderful with the kids, always positive and encouraging, approachable and responsive to any questions and just overall professional and kind. They are now taking skateboarding lessons too! His communication skills are topnotch both in person and online. Thank you!

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.”

I really appreciate how engaging and well-organized the program and activities are. The activities are fun, educational, and help children build confidence, social skills, and creativity. I also like that the staff creates a safe, welcoming, and positive environment where kids feel supported and excited to participate each day

Great place - staff. equipment, everything. Happy to hear the BAC will soon be a Y - it's getting pretty crowded at the Sterling!

Each of the swim instructors we have had have been excellent! They do a great job of meeting with each kid where they’re at while also encouraging them and challenging them to grow in their skills!

The Y is a part of our day - for exercise, of course, but also for socializing with friends and participating in community efforts.

You get alot for the price. There are so many classes to take. I really appreciate that most are free. The pool is great, esp the sauna. Looking forward to seeing how things transistion with the BAC aquisition.

I like the pool.

Every time I come in, I'm greeted with a smile, everyone's courteous and happy and the place is booming with life

Clean facility
A variety of exercise classes

There is every type of exercise equipment available, in addition to pickleball, yoga. Pilates and swimming.

Something for every sge

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!
