Testimonials

There hasn’t been a single day when either of our kids have not wanted to go to the YMCA Nursery and Preschool. They both love it and thrive. All of the staff really care and are enthusiastic and motivated. A bonus has been all of the extra activities they can do. The trips, yoga, gymnastics, Irish dancing etc. Overall, it is just a happy fun environment – the way it should be. – Jeska McNicol

Our son attends the nursery at the Bishopdale YMCA Nursery and Preschool. He started 4 months ago and the nursery offer such a loving, caring and nurturing environment. The staff are always so friendly, the one thing that often sticks out is how welcoming the staff are every morning when we arrive at Day care. The staff always have smiles and they’re always so happy to acknowledge us. – Sarah Booth

When I was searching for a preschool to send my daughter to, the YMCA was the first one I visited. When viewing other preschools I would always compare it to the YMCA. To me it felt like a big happy family, and that was definitely the kind of safe, friendly environment I wanted for her.
A few years on, my twin boys are now attending the preschool and they just love it. The teachers are always friendly, caring and full of fun and creativity. I have been recommending the YMCA preschool to everyone looking for a place to send their children, and will continue to. – Hayley Lye
