What do you like about our program and activities?

We loved the Early Learning program the staff is awesome, they were there for my son since his first day. At the beginning he was having hard time with the different activities they have swimming, gymnastics, etc.
All the Lynch/van ymca team members were very supportive they always have a smile in their faces and make us feel so comfortable. The two years he stayed there make him more confident and has make such a positive impact in his development.
Now he is in kindergarten and we definitely miss ya’ll we will see you soon when little brother starts the program too !!!
Thank you Lynch/van Otterloo YMCA team :)

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Clean, friendly staff-especially at the front desk with John and Jeff.

I do feel there should be more signs/reminder in the gym for people to clean their machine/mat after use.
Also, are lifeguards able to listen to music on their phone while they are working? Seems to me if they're scrolling for a song, they cannot possibly be looking at the pool. This should not be allowed.

It is so beautiful to see how happy Keyden is in his classroom and how much love he has for his teachers and friends.

Keyden has such a sweet and loving relationship with Ms. Veronica. He is always so happy to see her and loves sharing hugs, kisses, smiles, and special moments with her. It is heartwarming to see how comfortable he feels around her and how naturally he shows his affection.

He also shares such a beautiful and loving relationship with Ms. Fatima. Keyden loves playing with her, laughing with her, and sharing fun moments throughout the day. He is always excited to interact with her, and it is wonderful to see the connection and happiness they share.

Keyden has developed such a wonderful routine in his classroom. He is always excited and happy to be there, and it is clear how much he enjoys his teachers, his friends, and his classroom environment. Seeing his smiles, hugs, laughter, and excitement each day brings so much joy.

We especially love seeing how affectionate Keyden is with his friends. He gives hugs, plays with them, and shows so much love and kindness. It is beautiful to see the special connections he has created with both of his teachers and his classmates.

Seeing Keyden feel so happy, comfortable, and loved in his classroom means so much to us. His smiles, laughter, hugs, and excitement say so much about how special his classroom is to him. We are so happy to see him growing, learning, playing, and sharing so much love every day.

With lots of love,

Amir a très bien vécu la transition vers sa nouvelle classe, et je tiens vraiment à remercier Mme Kaelly et Mme Corsia pour tout l’amour, l’attention et le soutien qu’elles lui apportent au quotidien.

J’apprécie énormément la façon dont elles l’accueillent, le rassurent et lui montrent leur affection. Elles font en sorte qu’il se sente aimé, en sécurité et à l’aise dans sa nouvelle classe. Leur patience, leur gentillesse et leur bienveillance font une vraie différence pour Amir et pour nous, en tant que famille.

Merci beaucoup à Mme Kaelly et Mme Corsia pour tout ce que vous faites pour Amir et pour l’amour que vous lui donnez chaque jour. Nous vous en sommes vraiment reconnaissants ! ❤️

What I love most about the program is the care, support, and dedication the teachers show toward Amir. I am especially grateful to Miss Corsiaand Miss Kaely for the way they have worked with him and helped him grow, especially in his social-emotional development and communication. They take the time to understand his needs, celebrate his progress, and communicate with me about how he is doing and how I can continue to support him at home.

I truly appreciate how they work with me every step of the way and make me feel like we are a team supporting Amir together. Their patience, kindness, and dedication mean so much to me. I am so happy and grateful that Miss Corsia and Miss Kaely are Amir’s teachers. ❤️
