Description: Your children will love to learn and play in our unique Adirondack-themed daycare center specifically designed to accommodate children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. Even more important than the wonderful educational value of our programs, you'll enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your child is spending time in the caring and capable hands of trained YMCA professionals who provide high-quality programs.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

YMCA’s Kidz Lodge kicked my son out of their daycare after he had been there for 2 1/2 years. He had began having issues when he got a new teacher. When the daycare director, Deb, dismissed him she also said told me none of the kids wanted to play with him (which 3x moms reached out to play dates after we left)! We argued that it was more than just him, and they should see this is not his typical behavior since he had been there so long.. The director didn’t even care to consider it could be the new teacher and had a waiting list of other kids to fill his spot. The director then forged my signature in the behavioral reports, which they are required to do before dismissing a child and obviously never did!
Now with the CV19, the daycare is still charging full enrollment cost, dismissed 2/3 of their staff without pay and opened the YMCA affiliated gyms as additional childcare center and charging for essential workers’ kids to attend. They don’t even care to pay their laid off workers and are BANKING on this pandemic! It’s disgusting! They boast about helping the community, but are heartless!
I find the staff friendly and helpful and am happy to be there. There isn't always someone at the front desk when I drop off in the morning, but there are two-three teachers in the classroom. They greet us and help with drop off as some mornings are smooth and others not so much.
Staff is very unfriendly; poor communication between parents and teachers; teachers pick an choose favorites and they don’t show much interest in all the students! Try talking to the director but got us nowhere.
