Member Testimonials
This is my son’s first year participating in an after-school program. He is only seven years old, so at first, we weren’t sure if he would enjoy the program or if he would have a difficult time adapting to a new environment.
He has now been attending the program for almost a month, and my wife and I are very pleased and grateful to see how much he is enjoying it. Ms. C has been awesome, and I truly appreciate the care, patience, and compassion she shows toward the children in the program.
We are very happy with our experience so far and grateful to the YMCA for providing a safe and positive environment for our son. Please keep up the great work!
I love that the program is at my child’s school, so I don’t have to worry about them being transported. I also like that there is a set curriculum. My interactions with staff have been pleasant. My daughters come home happy every day and most of the time tell me not to pick them up early!
My child enjoys herself
I like there is a schedule and lesson plan
I love that the teachers do a lot of activities with the kids. My daughter comes home everyday so excited to tell us about everything that she did. She’s using her imagination a lot more at home and eager to go back day after day. We also enjoy the photos we receive of her afternoon.
Dont have to worry about my granddaughter, she is in good hands! Thank you, Grandma Kathy

I love Mr.Cole and his staff for his love and attention to my babies . He works extra hard to build a relationship and runs a tight ship! My kids love it and I appreciate him for being patient with them and for allowing the space for them to transition smoothly. He also is very communicative !

My kids love it. They are always doing crafts or playing sports or games when I pick them up. Sometimes they get mad when I picked them up too soon!
My son loves the YMCA AFTERSCHOOL program , I would definitely recommend
The kids always seem to be having a good time — my daughter never wants to leave! The staff is very friendly and appear to get along well with the students.
Que mi hija no sale de la escuela si no que ahi mismo se queda, pero si me gustaría reportar que una de las señora que cuida a los niños en el proyecto es muy déspota el trato así los padres y de igual manera hacia los niños no estoy segura de su nombre pero creo que es Mis.Lee es una señora morena
It’s convenient. No screening involved. Kids have fun in YMCA after school.

Late hours. Safe environment.
My daughter comes home happy. The teachers are very friendly and helpful. We love it and are very thankful to be able to send my daughter to this program.
I love my YMCA teachers, my daughter Maria Virginia Najera loves staying and doing afterschool work and activities. Thank you for all that you do for our kids! :)
The hands on activity and the staff
The staff is always friendly and I like the security of needing to provide a pin/qr code to pick up my child.
Love the events and snacks that they provide for my kids. We are lucky to have Mrs. Maria & Mrs. Esmer at Farmers Branch Elementary YMCA Program. I have a special needs kiddo and he loves YMCA, in general spending time with everybody. And I appreciate them ladies taking care of him even with his condition.
My daughter love spend time with her friends doing crafts

This is our first experience with YMCA, and I must say we are very pleased with the services. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. My kids have enjoyed every moment!
