Honestly this ymca isn't necessarily bad but it very old and run down compared to the other ymcas…read morein the area. Another annoying occurrence is that it takes weeks/if not months for something to be fixed (example the sensors in the sauna) There is a group of older gentlemen who continuously talk about the saunas/stream baths in their original country of origin. They continuously mess around with the heat sensors at the YMCA claiming the sauna here isn't "hot enough" as it is in their country of origin. They in turn mess up the sauna and put it out of commission for weeks/if not months.

The facility is in an alarming state of disrepair - particularly the mens' showers. The older men…read morealso prance around the showers and locker rooms completely naked, like it's a gay bath house. They need to be told to cover up.

I happen to live in the neighborhood and have a newborn.

I'm glad I do this as I just witnessed a cruel caretaker with an infant outside. The caretaker was a white female with short brownish hair. She had two infants one quietly lay on a shady area the other little boy with blond hair wearing a blue striped sweater today was put in a bouncer in direct sun view of his eyes. It was a very breezy day which my 4 month old hates because he can't breathe yet when it's super breezy. This little boy seemed 4-5 months cried relentless and caretaker ignoring his cries, maybe because the sun was in his eyes and the wind was too strong. Anyways I witnessed this caretaker yank the little boy from the bouncer by his legs putting him upside down. She didn't see me at first because I came from her behind. When she saw me she immediately became nice to the boy sat him on her lap and gave him attention. I told her "he must not like the direct sun on his eyes and it's too breezy for infants outside. My infant hates the sun and the breeze too and he would cry if I put him out like that." She said he will get use to it and went on to ignoring me. This was an eye opener as if anyone treated my infant that way and held him by the legs I would sue them. I tried calling the daycare to put in this complaint but they never answer. If you have an infant blonde wearing blue winter hat and blue striped sweater today I would recommend you not leave him at this caretaker's hands. She shouldn't be working with kids at all. After finally speaking with Tina who seemed to be uninterested in even asking which caretaker it was and who the child was, it made me even more concerned of what type of care these infants are getting. She just said "I will look into it." That's aweful response. If the caretaker treats this infant in this manner in plain sight outside, I can only imagine what she does behind closed doors. Needless to say, my newborn will not ever be going to this daycare which is conveniently a block from my house.
