The staffs are very nice!

Signing up for the classes is ridiculous. The online version is very difficult to navigate - neither my wife, nor I have figured it out yet after three years of trying - and if we go to sign up in person, the things we want are signed up within five minutes of opening. We're standing in line at the Y when the sign-up opens, and we get nothing.

Staff are supportive, kind and compassionate. We love theo and fletcher !

I love how the programs have childminding at the same time

Great staff and instructors

Here is a concise, balanced comment you can submit. It's designed to be constructive so the directors know exactly what to fix while acknowledging what they did right. **Comments:** My child thoroughly enjoyed the swimming lessons and basketball camps this session; both were well-run and highly engaging. However, the Thursday night Science camp was a disappointment by comparison. It consistently felt disorganized, and the sessions frequently ended significantly early—often letting the kids out after only half the allotted time. While the sports programs were excellent, the Science camp lacked the necessary structure and curriculum to fill the scheduled period and provide a valuable experience. I hope to see this program brought up to the same high standard as your athletics in the future.

Ymca is family friendly. All family members can enjoy sports and other activities in the same place at the same time. They also have small cafeteria with variety of options so family can have snacks,lunch, or even quick dinner. Washrooms and changing rooms are available at different areas and are clean, tidy , and brand new. There's also a library in the same building and a community centre. Playground area outside. Thank you YMCA!

Pre school swimming classes are great for little kids to get comfortable with the water then start learning

The instructors are all great at what they do, I know it can be difficult especially teaching small children. I do wish that the classes were longer than 30 minutes though, I would prefer longer classes and shorter session timeframes (for example 1 hour classes for 8 weeks instead of 30 minute classes for 16 weeks, or even 45 minute classes) so that there is actually time for us adults to fit a workout in during that time. 30 minutes just isn't long enough. I think health and fitness is very important for not only children but also for adults.

The staffs are very helpful and engaging with the kids. There are a arrange of activities to keep them engaged.

There should be more organization and prepared activities. Improvisations are often noticeable, and that's why children open up in class.

Lots for kids and family love the kids programs and family swimming and swimming lesson the staff are always there to help with big smiles awesome warm greatings

Staff are engaging and knowledgeable

All peograms seemed to be run by volunteer youth who had no interest in keeping the spirit alive. They were just killing time to get their hours, bothering least to make the program interesting and useful for the kids present there. They hardly even get involved.

It is unfortunate that the programming includes the city programs as members are sometimes unable to get into programs because the city has taken spots.

Friendly and clean environment, and the program coordinators are wonderful in their participation with the children

My son loves it at StarTech. Especially the pool.

Kids like the swimming and the crafts through the day.

Everything

My kids complain of being bored and kids being mean. It's hit or miss. My kids hated it during Christmas break and they enjoyed it during March break.

Affordable, good start/end times. My son enjoys the variety of activities available such as crafts, playground, swimming, climbing gym.

Swimming daily, lots of crafts and incorporated outdoor time

Affordable with plan, variety, well organised and accessible

It is my understanding that the Stoneycreek YMCA branch has a concierge service in which young ones who have been dropped off at a drop-in activity can be walked to their next activity like a registered program, with the help of a YMCA staff member. Implementing a service like this at Bostwick would help parents participate in a class for the full duration or workout longer without needing to step out to pick up with child and send them to the next activity.

Swimming is great. Soccer class for 5 years old: it's only 25 minutes. J'y the time they sign in and out there's only about 15 minutes left. The hardly to soccer drills. Seems like a lot of standing around waiting for the one kid who isn't listening.
