Editorial Review for YMCA – by Whitney Friedlander

In Short
The first U.S. branch of the YMCA started in Boston in 1851; there are now more than 2,500 locations nationwide, making it the country's largest nonprofit community service program. Each YMCA reflects the community it's in, offering differing services based on the area. Most include fitness areas with aerobic equipment, classes and racquetball and tennis courts. Many also have day care and after-school programs, as well as summer day camps.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

06/17/2008 Posted by Mommy1786

I recently visited the infant room at the Barkley YMCA Childcare Center and did not like what I saw. The girls watching the children couldn't have been more than 18 years old. None of the infants were happy, in fact, the entire time we were visiting they were all crying and were not attended to. They were swaddled with fleece blankets over their heads in 75 degree weather. The facility looked old and dirty and the prices were extremely high. I would never put my infant in their childcare center.
