What parents say
Honestly, they are wonderful! They truly have a great program for the kids. I always am getting goodies sent home to show appreciation/save memories. They are also so diligent about cleaning and making a safe environment for the kids. Every time I went in my son was having a great time and the kids in his room were content for the most part. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a great day care on a budget. :)
Mary Zavarella · 5/5 on Google · 7 years agoIf you are thinking of putting your child(ren) in the McGee Middle YMCA program in Berlin, DONT. Horrible, keep your children away from this place. The director, cindy, is nothing but a liar (from experience with my child) she is so rude and fake. As for the other staff... "teachers" thy are uneducated..... in the worst way. They yell at the young children and have no common sense. Their attitudes SUCK! Especially…
Kat · 1/5 on Google · 2 years agoThe staff is amazing and I can not say enough great things about the work they do, but it appears since a change in Directors has taken place. The YMCA is focusing less on child development for children transitioning to Kindergarten and more on increasing enrollment for profit. 4-5 year old children should not be lumped into 3 year olds during classroom activities.
Michael King · 3/5 on Google · 6 years agoThe staff in the classroom of 2 years old kids and office director really rude and unprofessional. Find a better daycare, I took my kid to a better place, where they have better staff and better attitude. Appearances are deceptive here. I'm telling you by experiences.
