What do you like about your West Essex YMCA - Preschool experience?

As a parent, leaving your child in someone else's care is never easy, but from the moment we stepped into this daycare, we felt an overwhelming sense of trust and comfort. The staff is not only professional and attentive but genuinely kind and nurturing. They treat every child as an individual, taking the time to understand their needs, personalities, and developmental stages.
What stands out most is the supportive environment they create, not just for the children, but for parents too. Communication is consistent and transparent, whether it's a quick update on how the day went or a thoughtful note about a new milestone reached. I always feel informed and involved in my child’s growth and learning.
The caregivers go above and beyond to foster a warm, safe, and engaging space. Our child comes home happy, confident, and often bubbling with stories about the day’s activities. We’ve seen tremendous growth, socially, emotionally, and intellectually, which we wholeheartedly credit to the love and encouragement they receive each day.
It’s more than a daycare, it’s a second home. We’re incredibly grateful for this caring community and would highly recommend it to any parent seeking a positive, nurturing start for their child.

What do you like about your West Essex YMCA- Aquatics experience?

It’s been a great experience having my 5 yr old learn to swim and progress through different levels with Ymca group lesson. Some of the instructors are very good. Quick question, I noticed a couple kids learn swimming with wet suit on. I’m not sure if it’s helpful for leaning.
Thanks
