What do you like about your South Mountain YMCA - Afterschool experience?

The care takers are very nice, funny and engaging with the kids. My daughter comes home telling me all the activities they did for the day and how they make her laugh. I like the variety they get in the activities they do and how they spread positivity and inclusivity. My daughter comes home saying Spanish phrases and sometimes other languages as well.

What do you like about your South Mountain YMCA - Afterschool experience?

The staff at the Montrose YMCA Afterschool are incredible! My son is shy and has difficulty communicating which can lead to frustration and tantrums. The staff are all incredibly understanding and responsive to his needs. They come up with lots of activities to keep the kids engaged and having fun. They also seem to have consistent routines and systems so that children understand expectations. I love "Aftercare" days because he comes home happy and tired. What parent doesn't love a kid that falls asleep easily at bedtime?!
The program at Montrose is a game changer for our family. My daughter went to Montrose but was never able to get a spot in the aftercare program. Shuffling her to alternative aftercare was so challenging for us since both parents work full time. Thank you for making this program possible and for finding all the right people to run it!!

What do you like about your South Mountain YMCA - Afterschool experience?

I know that when I am working, my child is in a safe, secure place with friends and wonderful caretakers and I am able to focus entirely on getting my job done in time to pick him up and spend time with him. I don't have to have my brain in two places at once; my child is safe and happy and so am I, as a result.

What do you like about your South Mountain YMCA - Afterschool experience?

I have one child on its 6th year of afterschool and one on her second year. I cannot imagine my life without it, especially on school half days.
Convenience aside, I feel like everyone truly cares about my children and they say it is the best part of their school day.

What do you like about your South Mountain YMCA - Afterschool experience?

The aftercare caregivers are everything. They have a lot of kids to deal with, and that is not an easy job. But they are always polite to me and and my son and when things don't go perfect they respond the best they can with care and experience.

I like that they have a rotation of different activities for the kids and know that not every kid will want to do the same activity and they are used to dealing with all the different personalities.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for the Delia Bolden aftercare caregivers.

The counselors have a great vibe with the kids and make sure every day is fun, but that they're still learning, getting homework done, cultivating healthy friendships, etc. So grateful for everyone at Clinton Aftercare!
