Can get a bit crowded at times, wish there was more room to do things. Because of the space you’re quite limited on what you can do.

Ive been using the Scshlossman Y for child care since June 4th, 2018 and I cant say enough good things about them. But Im going to give it my best effort in this review:The teachers and director have set the bar high for my expectations of child care. They not only genuinely care for your child but they help develop them into a person with great character.They also educate them to help them be prepared for kindergarten. I was amazed how my child is learning to write letters at age 3. I am so happy they cultivate a program that embraces all cultures and educates them about a variety of family backgrounds. I think one way they do this is by having each child bring in a family photo so they can talk about their family.The facility seems perfect for a child. Their classrooms contain fun stations to play like water tables, puzzles, grocery stores, art, books, etc. The outdoor space has been recently updated with an amazing playground, equipped with a zip line and slide sets for various ages. The playscape is a creative place to learn while play. Indoors, the kids have access to the barn gym which has a fun, fast, exhilarating tube slide. They can also utilize the basketball gym to play with balls and run on the lines. Ive personally been with them in one of the group fitness studios to give them an opportunity to dance to routines I know from being a group fitness instructor.I feel so comfortable there because they welcome me into the classroom at anytime. Ive even had lunch with my child in the classroom. Also, they have set up special occasions where family members come read to the kids.They are wiling to work with difficult childhood behavior. They allow programs like Early Learning Intervention into the classroom.One day we had a family breakfast! My husband, youngest child, oldest child and I enjoyed pancakes, sausage, milk and juice together at a table with my oldest childs classmates and parents. What a huge effort on the Ys part to make families feel so loved there!The 2018-2019 winter was rough but yet they managed to stay open and provide child care the majority of the time. I think there was only one whole closed day. I remember one day they closed all facilities except Fercho but welcomed anyone from any YMCA child care facility. That day stands out because our youngest recently had surgery and the recovery was rough because the flu was also involved. As parents, we needed one less responsibility so we could focus on our sick child. My husband thanked the staff at Fercho for being open and they could tell something was going on in our lives. The director of the Schlossman Y called us just to see how we were doing. Now that is genuine, above and beyond care right there!The kids take field trips all year round to interesting, fun and educational places.Payment is easy through Tuition Express.They utilize the app SeeSaw to share pictures, videos and notes.They provide financial assistance to low income families.The health policy is reasonable. A child cant come back for 24 hours after a symptom like fever, diarrhea or vomiting has subsided.The positive list could go on and on.And to be fair, Ill talk about some challenges:Enrollment was confusing and overwhelming for me. I get lost in the titles they give to the different types of child care they provide. Early Learning vs Kindergarten Readiness vs Full Time or Part Time Preschool. It wasnt something I easily figured out from the website. Some communication was insufficient but I used other YMCA resources to help with that. However once enrolled, the logistics are a breeze.

I wish they would keep their y kids at their own facilities instead of congesting all the other playgrounds. The groups are overwhelming.

Terrible. They’re money greedy. The Basketball Court is extremely cheap and rented out a lot. It’s best you go to a Family Wellness

Review №12

Most of the staff are great and the help out a lot with the children, but a couple of staff members treat children diferently. Not to say that they are all racist but one african american child was messing about at the gym and he was repeatedly yelled at, a couple of moments later a white child was doing almost the identical thing and he wasnt even talked to even though the same staff member was watching. That isnt the only time where something like that has happened. Not to point fingers but it was a female staff member. :)

People were being treated differently based on their colors. I visited this facility couple of time and I would scan my card everyday but I ended up forgetting them couple of times and the staff were nice enough to let me pass, and a colored kid came without a card and the staff blow him off and said he had to go home or some place else, I was shocked that they never asked me or talked to me the way they did with that poor kid. So I took manners in to my own hand and sat down to see if they would do the same thing, and they did. I saw 3 white people that were let through and 2 colored asked to leave because they didnt have a card. At the end of the day I started talking to the staff and asked them couple of questions but never really engaged them on why they treated people differently, but it came and their response was that they dont treat people differently, I had to tell them everything that happened that day to see their reaction. They ended up saying that some colored people give off negative vibes and that they should be treated differently based on the way they dress and act. I asked them if they pay the same amount for the membership and they nodded with a yes and kept on talking about many ways that colored people were gonna make this a bad environment for others. So I left them and ended up here typing this horrible incident.

The staff members treat Women way better then they treat the men...one day I forgot my card and was told too pay 5 dollars I would have too leave so As I was reaching into my wallet I seen to other younger women with the same problem (forgot there card) the young man said “it’ll be okay this time chuckling along with the ladies and I asked how come they didn’t have too pay but I did and didn’t really say anything so I turned around and walked out of the building

Some very rude young man work the desk on Sunday evening and apparently they dont know what it is to treat guests with respect as they played on their phones not sure what they were watching on the internet but apparently it was quite interesting.
