June 06, 2025Disorganization and Lack of Communication Made Our Experience Frustrating
I'm extremely disappointed with the YMCA of Greater Toronto Area's before and after school program at the Oshawa John XXIII location. As a parent, I expect a certain level of organization and communication from any childcare provider, but unfortunately, this program fell short. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and there were constant issues with picking up and dropping off my child. The curriculum, while well-intentioned, felt disjointed and lacked clear goals or progress updates. I tried to address these concerns with the program directors, but my emails and phone calls were often met with silence or vague reassurances. The flexible scheduling and affordable fees that initially drew me to this program ultimately proved to be a myth, as last-minute changes and unexpected closures became the norm. Perhaps the most concerning aspect, however, was the lack of transparency regarding my child's daily activities and any issues that arose during the program. As someone who values open communication and collaboration, I found the YMCA's approach to be baffling and unprofessional. While I appreciate the YMCA's mission and commitment to providing high-quality childcare, our experience with this particular program was marred by disorganization, poor communication, and a general sense of neglect. Until these issues are addressed, I would hesitate to recommend this program to other families.
