"The daycare is terrible, I never felt welcome and my son hated it and always ran out the door when I arrived. My kid has an IEP and even though they say they work with IEP's, they don't. They just exclude him from activities and charge full price. I wouldn't recommend to anyone, most expensive in area, only people at this daycare probably can't get in anywhere else because they're full like us."

"Great facility and amazing staff that will remember your kids names, say hello to them and make them feel important. Child watch area has tons of activities and great people in charge, plus good hours. We haven’t used it but they have emergency child care which is awesome. The pool has a big water slide and a nice smaller slide with water features for little kids. Full size basketball court, weights and cardio. Really appreciate the charging station in the weight/cardio area. Saved me when my headphones were dead. They have lots of family events and many are free or very cheap. It is a Y, so they have different priorities than a standard gym has. If you’re looking for a safe, great community atmosphere for all ages, it’s amazing. If you’re looking for a 24/7 gym, it might not be the right place. If you want a friendly environment, I highly recommend it. The only downsides we’ve encountered are pretty typical with all Ys. Full time day care is near impossible to get into and you may wish certain things weren’t in use or were open longer to fit your busy schedule. They do a great job keeping the website up to date though so it’s easy to plan around."

"I arrive after work around 4pm to go to the pool but i cant!!! Because of 5 children close the whole pool what is going on!!!!! They close the pool every day after 4pm I can't swim anymore!!! Why am I giving money because the pools are closed????"

"Great spot for kids, families, and individuals alike. The Y offers so much for the community, and I love working out here. Always such a positive vibe when I walk through the doors!"

"Basic fitness facility. Access to pool is inconsistent dependent on classes, and “water features” are rarely turned on for kids to enjoy. FT Child care center for infant through preschool doesn’t offer a diverse or inclusive environment, and management offers no accommodations for children with special needs."
