I have been a long time fan of the YMCA as a camper, counselor, and now a parent. My adopted son, Ayden, is a great kid with a lot of energy and athletic talent. Along with that he presents behavior challenges due to trauma he experienced before he came into my care. The experience he has had with the caring and dedicated staff at the Taylor YMCA has played an essential role in his success and confidence. I am aware that he requires extra support to regulate his emotions at times, and I was anxious about getting phone calls to pick him up due to his behavior. Instead Michael saw the potential in him and approached me to ask how he could best support him. As a teacher and parent, this was so nice to hear! Since then he has worked with Ayden and the staff to implement plans to keep him on track. Recently, Libby spoke with his therapist and arranged for him to visit him at the Y. Again, Michael jumped in to collaborate with him to implement strategies for Ayden's success. I appreciate that when Ayden has issues, the staff takes time to listen to him and teach him to be accountable. Next, they communicate with me in a very helpful and positive way. Finally, most rewarding has been seeing Ayden support kids attending with special needs. Several times he has come out to my car with his arm around his friend with downs syndrome. Both have have smiles on their faces as Ayden introduces him as his "best friend." With all that said, I am so thankful that the Taylor YMCA has become part of our journey!
They make the kids feel welcome and always finds ways to entertain them.

My son loves being at the y and staff is wonderful
The staff are incredible! Our son loves it and has so much fun!!
The after school program has been very supportive and worked hard to meet my child's needs. The staff turnover can be hard, but that's childcare everywhere. We've been so grateful for all of the great people we've worked with through the Y.
Most importantly, our son loves going to YMCA after school care! He really enjoys the time he gets with his friends and the games that they play. He also really likes the councilors. When we pick-up, the team is always very friendly, especially Ashley, but also not afraid to tell us if he's misbehaved and what strategies they're trying to do to improve the situation. Overall, a really good experience that we'd recommend to others.
Our son really enjoys the Y after school program! He says it’s his favorite time of the school day. He loves his counselors and so do we. Highly recommend the Y.
I deeply value my experience with the Taylor Family YMCA After-School Program. Sarah Bryant, Director, leads a dedicated team including Brooke, Trevor, Erica, and Emma. Their commitment to creating a supportive environment for children is remarkable. Each staff member's enthusiasm and care have made a significant impact on my child's experience. My son, Xander, loves being with them!
The counselors are very kid friendly, Don and Morgan are the best, have always come to me incase there is an issue. My daughter speaks highly on them. I have been using YMCA after care and am grateful it's available there. Takes alot of stress away.
Friendly staff and my son really enjoys coming here after school. He gets upset if I pick him up too early lol

The atmosphere. Everyone talks to everyone. The employees are wonderful. Always smiling and happy. The group classes are top notch. I particularly love being able to modify my workout with different options given by the instructors. I have been a member of the Taylor Y for 26 years and not going anywhere!
Thank you for everything you do, we greatly appreciate it!
Shyamala Mahadevan and the other front desk team supported very well to start my membership. Thanks so much!
I love using the aerobic machines and weight room. But I do wish the Y had not gotten rid of the ab machine without replacing it.
Great staff and facilities, plus the programs
All the activities that keep my 1st grader busy and all the counselors are great!!!!
