Miss Jessie made all kids feel welcome, included and engaged this year. I appreciate her approach- she uses much more reward than punishment and keeps kids safe. She is a gem.
It's a great program for all ages.
Adelyn has grown so much, socially and I give credit to the wonderful counselors and programs at afterschool and summer camp!
Great activities and fun exercise for my kiddo at the close of his school day. Excellent hours and helps on the unexpected days off. Great for working parents
Our kids always seem to be having a great time and don’t want to leave when we arrive for pick up which is a huge compliment to the program.
YMCA afterschool has been our families go to program for years!
I love everything about it! The staff is the best at Old Fort Elementary!!!
Wonderful staff, fun projects, lots of outside time, daughter loves it
We love Y Afterschool at Sandhill! Lily, Q, Mae, and everyone else is great!
I LOVE this program because they helped make my job a lot easier! They keep the kids till six, which is fantastic because anybody who has ever traveled on 26 knows that there could be any kind of delays that may take more time than the 20-30 minutes you have to pick them up after school is dismissed.
You have amazing and caring staff.
A+
So far I like the fact that the kids are outside and not inside on electronics. That is the best thing!
Good to have for a few extra childcare hours after a half day program.
The flexibility of the part time program. Great staff and activities for kids. My son has LOVED being a part of this program!

Kids friendly and keep my daughter out of trouble
This program is organized, physically active, educational, and supportive
My kid gets his homework done before coming home. He gets the tutoring he needs and he gets to learn social skills by hanging out with the other kids. It also helps me with child care while I'm at work which is very helpful.
Fantastic environment for my child. Love the outdoor play and space this location has. Great staff and excellent communication between staff leads and families.
The teachers are wonderful, they plan engaging activities for the kids and take excellent care of them.
Convenient for working families.
Miss Kim and Miss Wendy are amazing at Old Fort! I know there are a lot of boys in that group and it can be a challenge! Blake and Levi enjoy the activities both in centers and outside. Thank you for offering this program at Old Fort!
