Powered by GoogleBased on my experience, I would not recommend the YMCA childcare program. I had several concerns regarding communication, professionalism, and incident documentation while my child was enrolled. There were instances where I felt proper incident reporting procedures were not followed, and there were situations that occurred while my child was in their care that staff could not adequately explain. I was also deeply concerned by behavior I witnessed involving a staff member making fun of a child with special needs, which I found unacceptable and unprofessional. As a parent, I expect childcare providers to prioritize children’s safety, follow proper procedures, and treat every child with respect and compassion. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet those expectations. I encourage parents to thoroughly research childcare options and ask questions about policies, incident reporting procedures, and staff training before enrolling their children.
Love the YMCA. So many classes and great instructors. Wonderful and genuine people and an immaculately clean facility. Always someone there to help if you have questions, and you always receive a warm welcome when you enter the facility.
The YMCA IN FREEHOLD is THE BEST! Always kind and supportive staff, always spotless clean and everyone is happy and respectful! Definitely recommend joining!
Came here a few days ago The swimming pool was great, but then I went to the sauna and steam room. Had to take elevator, by the time I got there, I was freezing and was hoping to warm up. The sauna was barely warm Steam room smells like old wet rug and not steaming well Took 10 mins to get hot water from the shower
I love bringing my daughter here to swim in the outdoor pool but the YMCA needs to be better about posting changes to their hours on website and social media. I drove 30 minutes yesterday to bring her to the pool only to find it closed for some event that was happening which was not posted anywhere. I wouldn’t have gotten her hopes up if we couldn’t go swimming. Please YMCA give us a heads up when you aren’t actually open so we don’t waste our time and have to deal with toddler tantrums.
