The best staff and counselors ever!
Love the YMCA!!
We love the group of people that support my daughter at Brookdale school aftercare. I can tell that they really support the kids and my daughter loves being there. Miss Franny has been great stepping up as the lead this year and I never feel guilty about having her there because they have so much fun.
Open early and late, nice facilities.
I use the exercise and weight rooms. Do you ever do an inventory of equipment use? I think you need more stair-steppers— they are often in use (only 2) and other equipment sits empty.
They get the chance to go outside and play. Teachers and assistant they watch, teach, and play with kids.
A great community of family and friends. The location, condition of building site is excellent. Gyms and studio rooms nicely stocked and clean. Staff and instructors are exceptional. Friendly, competent eager to go the extra mile. Being a member definitely has improved my quality of life. Yoga instructors are wonderful, well trained, eager to share their knowledge and wisdom with others. While they are all wonderful, My favorites are Liz, Fran and Maggie. Although Maggie is gone, I truly miss her presence and all that she offered in her sessions. I would be great if she decided to return.
I love the staff. Love! I love how organized, fair, and kind they are. I love the leadership of Ms. Heather and Mr. Parker. They are stellar. I love how much planning they do to keep the students engaged, active, and in harmony. I deeply appreciate the training the staff has to ensure they support kids in all of their moods and conflicts. I am grateful for the staff’s commitment to safety.
we love the YMCa and the convenience of it living in Montclair.

The teacher that my daughter has is wonderful. Ms Natalie!
Good quality for the price.
Love swimming at the big pool. I'm there every other day or so. My only constructive feedback is that I wish the lifeguards could help and be a little more hands on when people need to circle and don't want to.
Lessons were fun. I feel more confident about my baby being in the water and he seems very comfortable now.
Instructors are patient, friendly ..
My child loves the staff, and they do a great job of engaging with the kids on their level, while making them feel important and comfortable. We have loved aftercare and our son begs us to pick him up late everyday!
Reliable, quality care
My son loves the YMCA aftercare program. He has a lot of fun with all of the activities, especially drawing with the counselors. Whenever I pick him up, he is never ready to leave, so I take that as a good sign.
