YWCA Atlanta Reviews

My daughter has been in the infant room since she was 8 weeks old. It was so scary to leave her so young, but I have been overwhelmed by the love and care she has received there. The staff are patient and loving and have been doing this a long time. It was exactly what we wanted in a day care. I encourage people to visit and see for yourself. There is no one solution for everyone, but I can say we are extremely happy and it has exceeded our expectations.

My daughter started at the YWCA when she was 2 months old. She had extremely terrible reflux to the point where I was embarrassed to take her and leave her for them to deal with all day. However, the infant room teachers quickly bonded with my baby, and I felt comfortable leaving her in their care everyday. I loved walking in there each day and seeing how they loved on all those babies constantly giving them attention.

My daughter has never cried when being dropped off at the YWCA each morning, so I feel very reassured that I have in her in the right place. She has now moved on to the mobile infants room, but she still makes a visit to her infant room teachers daily.

We recently moved to Tucker, so we visited other centers out of convenience for our new commute. We decided to do whatever it takes to stick with the YWCA because we cannot bear the thought of having another center care for our child. They're not perfect, but it is obvious that the teachers love kids and love their jobs. Everyone there is friendly, down-to-earth, and I appreciate each and every one of them.

I'm beyond pleased with the YWCA. Leaving your child at such a young age is terrifying and so worrisome. The YWCA has always made me feel so at home and my daughter loves it so much. I'm part-time at work but take my daughter every day because she does so much better at school. She is thriving in every way and it keeps getting better.

My daughter attended Pre-K here and was absolutely prepared for Kindergarten by the end of the year! I have never seen 3 teachers per class, as they have here, nor have I ever witnessed a school that took so many field trips! The local community loves the YWCA! Due to its prime location in Virginia Highlands, the location is perfect and the parents are heavily involved. This truly contributed to our students' success because they were held accountable by everyone from their peers up to the YWCA's CEO, Ms. Elliot. I would definitely recommend this school!

I don t have a child in this program, I just live in the neighborhood around the school. I called today to report one of the teachers for the way she is yelling at the kids. She s been having them walk in a circle around the play ground and has berated them like an army Sargent If they slowed down or dared to stop walking for any reasons. I ve been out on my porch listening to children cry for their mommies and this woman seems to thrive on it. I can t speak for the organization as a whole- but seeing as these kids can t be more than 4 years old- I d think long and hard before sending my children here.

Wonderful experience for my daughter. She's grown from the infant to the toddler room and the teachers have been incredible along the way. I would highly recommend this daycare.
