Everyone is very friendly and most important my son enjoys his time there.
The teachers this year at Bradley School in Derby CT are top notch. The best they have had in years. They are kind, engaging, fair and fun. My children talk about them like they are best friends.
Everything
The program and directors are great. My son has been involved here since he was 3 months old and has grown to build a relationship with fellow campers and the counselors. They make sure the kids are safe and having a great time, always a job well done!!
How they are able to help kids who need that extra help, who might be neurodivergent, have other things going on. The YMCA accommodates and helps all kids and it’s so awesome.
They are helpful, caring, understanding and supportive. As well as knowledgeable. Thanks Valley YMCA Family.

Their reliable, friendly and helpful in addition teaching and working well with the children.
I’m for thankful for this program (we do the before school). My daughter LOVES going, she makes me take her right when it starts and is sad we only do 3 days, she’d go every day gladly. Thank you so much to the staff for making the start of her school day so great!
Super kind and friendly.
The director, Felicia, is amazing and I like that she communicates through the Remind app. My daughter loved swimming at the Milford, YMCA. She did tell me that she saw adult private parts in the locker room which is probably unavoidable, but hopefully their was a counselor present to advocate for the safety of the kids in a space where people of all ages are changing and nudity is part of the culture (the same way a parent would in a similar situation).
Felicia and her team are amazing 🤩 thank you for taking care of my Hailey Brown!!
my daughter gets an experience where she can grow learn experience new adventures and loves going to camp and being around peers her age an enjoy life as she should being a toddler.
The staff is friendly my kids have been going for years they f el comfortable and safe and mostly they enjoy it every years.
I'm truly grateful for the help Ryan gave in enrolling my daughters in fall swimming lessons at Valley YMCA. This opportunity was invaluable for them, and their coach, Kat, was fantastic. Many children from single-parent homes are unable to afford swimming lessons, making this community initiative truly remarkable. My girls have gained valuable skills and knowledge, and this foundation has been a crucial starting point for their swimming journey. Aleena , Anyla, Lyric , and Prodigy 💙
They are very engaged with my child.
The Y has very Kind & Friendly staff!!
I love it the associates make it so much for my son.. he loves going
Love this program !!! Never had any issues… staff has always been great to my daughter and she always has fun.
The teachers, the staff in general were amazing. My daughter developed in the school environment and was more than ready for kindergarten. And above all they treated us like family. It is place we loved and trust.
There has been quite a change over the years for the Bradley YMCA program. Two years ago, we enrolled and were not happy at all with the care or communication that we received and pulled our daughter out of the program. This year, however, the staff has completely turned things around and we are so pleased we tried the program again. Felicia and Leo are tremendous. My children love both of them. The staff is attentive, professional, caring and follow protocols. We hope the program continues to run this way for years to come and Felicia and Leo are there!
