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

The teachers/caregivers are so loving and caring- I have a real sense that they love my baby and care for her so personally. The facility is beautiful, clean, bright and friendly.

I do wish that there was more communication on the app, like receiving some pictures of our baby's activity, the ability to message about anything important or timely, and some sense of the daily routines/schedules/activities.

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

I’m so amazed with The care and support of my son, not only from his core classroom teachers but from all of the teachers and staff. I love how everyone interacts with my son and makes him feel welcome. I love The full day activities, he’s a very active toddler who is able to exude his energy everyday at school. He’s learning and growing very independent. I love the daily updates and photos, the calendar of events. I’m grateful my son is a part of the Y ECLC family

The best place in the universe! We love our Ms Sue and Gina and Toochi and Celoye. They care so much about our children and provide a nurturing environment that encourages exploration. Damian loves going to school and often is mad at me when I pick him up early- because he truly loves being at the ECLC and the Marmoset classroom!

the staff and leadership go above and beyond to make sure this place is so much more than a school/childcare...they foster a culture and strong sense of belonging. It's always so festive, creative, you walk in and it seems as though there is a different celebration monthly, weekly.

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

Love the Y. The teachers and staff are absolutely fantastic. Every single one without exception. I like that it feels like a genuine community with other parents and teachers I see every day.

Only thing I would change if I had a magic wand would be the parking lot situation. It's pretty cramped and stressful (especially in the winter when its dark and possibly snowy/icy!)

Great experience as a whole, kids learn how to socialize (parents too ;) ) and when you look the program as a whole they come out strong and better as a person, open to connect with other kids and avid to learn new things to come.

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

We love our teachers so much and have had an amazing experience so far. I know that my child is loved each day when I drop him off and had a great day each day when I pick him up. He loves to sing songs he learned in school and shows us new skills he gained in class regularly. He loves the playground setup and the fun toys and books in his classroom. We love the feeling we get dropping him off!
