★Grecia AguilarI strongly advise against bringing your children to this Boys and Girls Club. The staff provides little to no supervision, often distracted by their phones instead of watching the kids. I’ve witnessed employees using foul language around children and behaving unprofessionally—some even falling asleep at the front desk, eating and scrolling on their phones. The lack of supervision became even more concerning when my child was hit by a group of other children, and not a single staff member was aware of what happened. No one stepped in, addressed the situation, or even noticed until my child told me about it. That is completely unacceptable. The transportation situation is also alarming, as kids are made to sit on each other’s laps in the pickup van, which is extremely unsafe. This is not a place where I would trust my child’s well-being. Parents, please think twice before enrolling your children here.
★★★★★JarvisI was very impressed with this particular Boys & Girls Club facility. It was in great condition and well maintained. We came from out of town and in comparison our local Boys & Girls Club needs a lot of work so to see this great facility and well maintained basketball courts was great to see.
★Caitlin McDanielWalked in to receive an application to sign my son up for the program. The lady at the front desk attitude was so nasty it took two seconds to come to the conclusion that she didn’t need to be around my kid. Good luck.
★★★★★Robert ClarkI love this location my son has been going here for the past two years. He's a special needs child and absolutely loves it here. he hates to come home. When my daughter is older she will be going here also. The staff is awesome and they seem to really love the kids.
★★★★★PatrykGreat place and great value! Sign your children up for a low annual fee. They can take the bus here after school and stay until 6pm. Helps me out a lot since I work and can't pick my son up after school. Also, I know my child gets fed and stays active while I'm working.
