The Gladstone YMCA Child Care Center has been a wonderful addition for our family. We have been with them for 3 1/2 years when our first daughter started there at 3 months. I had another daughter 8 months ago and she also started school at Gladstone YMCA when she was 3 months. I also must say that the same teachers are caring for my 2nd child that cared for my 1st and that speaks volumes to me about the center and how the employees are treated. It's always difficult to make that decision to leave your children with someone else while you go to work, but I knew they were in great hands. When researching the YMCA, they allowed me to come and visit multiple times with my daughter to get a feel for how things were run. I asked all the questions that I first time Mom would ask with no experience and they were happy to answer everything. There have been many times where the YMCA staff has been a resource about things going on with my children (when to start on solids, ear infections, suggestions/concerns about behaviors, potty training...). I have found them to be a "trusted advisor" to my family about mutiple issues and very open to speaking to us about any questions that we may have . Just recently I made a suggestion to potentially allow more communication from the teachers to the parents and they will be implementing it into their daily routines. It breaks my heart to hear and read about people who perceive such a negative view of the Gladstone YMCA Child Care center because we have had such a wonderful experience. My children have so much fun playing and learning that I never hear that they "don't want to go to school". My children have become their children and that is exactly who I want to be caring for them. I would highly recommend the Gladstone YMCA Child Care Center if you are in search of a day care provider!
