"My son loves attending the Y. He is always excited when it is "Y" day - and simply knowing he is able to do something he loves on a regular basis makes me confident this has a positive impact on his life. I have been so pleased - by what seems so simple - but the fact that at drop off - when we walk through the door he is always warmly and enthusiastically greeted by name. This really helps him feel a sense of belonging and gives him a great start to his day outside of the home."
