The instructors were great and patient. Each girl got a good bit of riding time. And, got to learn how to brush and take care of the horses too. The location of this place is a little odd - you think you're driving through a cul de sac but lo and behold, this place shows up at the end. I'd recommend this to other scouts -- we got a fun patch out of it too!

We have been going to Windkist since June 1st of 2022. Our now eight year old daughter has advanced…read moreto her next level of riding lessons. Windkist held a St. Patrick's Day show recently. It was our daughters first show. It was very organized and everyone had a wonderful time. Due to the hard work and determination of the barn owner Tish and all of the instructors (Robin, Paula, Megan, Kat) each time we are there it is a wonderful experience. Our daughter took home three show ribbons. We couldn't be more pround to be a part of the Windkist family. We are very excited to have our daughter join the ZO Windkist riding team in two years. This staff works tremendously hard to maintain the health horses of their horses, clean stalls, water buckets, turn outs, indoor area. The overall barn is very clean and organized. Our daughter works with instructors Robin and Kat! They are extremely patient, wonderful teaching kids responsibility and proper barn etiquette. I could write so much more. If you have a child or an adult we highly recommend Windkist Farm.

Hopefully they'll get fired for being horrible at their jobs one day, but for now I highly recommend staying away from this hellhole.

I almost don't want to give this place up....I have just started to drop my kids off at their…read morechildcare center and I can't say enough good things about the ladies that work there. They really do seem to care about the children they watch and know about childcare. They are so good about encouraging the kids to play and feel comfortable and are very communicative about their progress. Whatever they are paid- it's not enough! They have a TON of fitness programs and brand new cardio equipment, which is great. It's not the fanciest workout gym, but what else do you expect- its the YMCA... The one bit of feedback I would give is to sync up their open pool times (the small warmer pool that kids are going to want to swim in more) with the childcare times. So if open swim is only from 2-3:15, then child care should start at 3:15 or end at 2, so mom and dad could do a work out before or after taking their kids to the pool. I would also love to see a lot more open pool time in the small pool (the warmer pool). It is only open 2-3:15 during the week and most young kids nap from 12-3 during the day (probably the reason they have this time is all the other times are taken up by lessons). In any case, that's my two cents...

It's disappointing to see that nothing has changed at this Y in over a decade. The same rude and…read moreunprofessional behavior others documented 12+ years ago is still present particularly within membership services. My interaction with Laura was hostile and dismissive and appeared discriminatory. Call it what it looks like. Hatred doesn't elevate anyone; it exposes them. While this location seems stuck in petty, ugly behavior, the rest of us move forward choosing dignity and decency. I was contacted regarding an alleged outstanding balance, even though my bank records clearly show successful withdrawals for both my membership and my daughter's swim lessons. When I disputed this and provided documentation, both services were immediately canceled and a refund was refused. The issue was escalated to the Regional Business Manager, who acknowledged receipt of the documentation but continues to request additional bank statements in order to "investigate," further delaying what should be a simple refund. At this point, the issue is not missing information but unnecessary delays. I am still waiting for refunds for canceled services and expect this matter to be resolved promptly.

As a teacher, integrating education into our days is very important to me, so I'm always working in different learning opportunities. For example, we do science experiments (like getting caterpillars and watching them transform into butterflies!), and I like to incorporate different languages into our lessons and songs to celebrate other cultures. My favorite activity is actually doing puzzles with the children. It's fun, educational, practices hand-eye coordination, and is a great opportunity to be on their level and connect with them. Of course, circle time is also special, when I get to know each one of them personally. I think parents often have the idea that a high-quality child care program has to have a lot of fancy equipment. But the value of the program is really in the educators themselves. I am a professional teacher, and I draw on decades of experience when running my program. There's a lot that goes into teaching and child care that isn't always obvious at first glance, and it definitely isn't as simple as having the latest toys or technology.

He clearly enjoys football. Coaches were volunteers and seemed to like working with kids. Though these were positives, I won't be signing up again. The timing and organization of this sport did not work for my family. Most spring activities start in mid-April and end in late June, aligning with school. This didn't start until Mother's Day and was ran through the weekend after July 4th. Having football on Mother's Day, Father's Day, and a holiday weekend was not ideal. As the weeks went on it seemed less and less people came. Also, it was initially a Sunday from 4 pm - 5 pm activity, but there were times it was changed to 3 pm - 5 pm or cancelled due to weather or field availability (these were not made up). Further, when a tournament came up in late June, parents were asked to bring cash for registration if we wanted our kids to play. Those who didn't sign up lost a week of practice. And to top it off, not enough kids were interested in playing. The week before the tournament FREE spots were given out. Even then, it was never made clear if enough kids signed up so I didn't bring my son (who I paid for) since I had no confirmation that there were enough players. I do think the coaches and Commissioner Sabet care about kids and had passion about flag football. But the timing and organization were just issues that were too big for me. With multiple children in activities I found that this was not the best fit for us.
