One was the attitudes of the daycare workers, one named Moisha and she would tell my mother on accusations very negative remarks about one of my twin boys. My kids stayed sick almost the whole 2 months they were there before we pulled them out. To expand, we picked them up they were ALWAYs dirty- faces weren't wiped, runny noses, crusty food on there clothes and face and looked disheveled. I was 7 months pregnant and they wouldn't help/ offer to take the boys to the car so I would have to carry both boys out to my car. They claimed they couldn't assist in taking the children out even knowing how hard it was on me. I had to bring my mother to help. As we continued to pick the boys up we always dealt with rude attitudes from the assistants in there crawler room they were in. I was very excited to start them at this daycare, but as time went on I changed my mind. One day, after my children were returning to the daycare after contracting hand food and mouth from this place, I texted the teacher after my kids had been out for over a week asking how the twins were doing and she stated "they are fine, you don't need to text me every day asking about them, I will text you if there is a problem" I thought this was very rude and disrespectful as a mother who just had two sick babies out and is asking for an update on how they were getting back acclimated with being back after since they were out over a week. It was about a week after that I pulled them out. I am not one to be knit picky about stuff and understand teachers are busy but this was uncalled for. I would not recommend this place to any parent to put their kids in. Read some of the other reviews. They are pretty bad.

I've been very happy with the overall quality of the program, the caregiver-to-child ratio, and the professionalism of the staff. Many of the parents who work at NGHS transferred their children here when the NGHS childcare center closed, which to me is a vote of confidence. In particular, Miss Shanice and Miss Christy have been taking good care of my son, who's been dealing with some separation anxiety after a stressful move. They receive several meals and are checked routinely for wet or dirty diapers. If an accident (even minor), they fill out a form describing the incident, which brings me a lot of peace of mind. In addition, there are multiple security cameras and a unique access code for each parent. I'm very pleased. Great job Tasha and Susan!

They go out of their way to make members feel comfortable and supported, whether you're brand new or have been coming for years. It's clear that they truly care about the community they serve. The workout area is well-maintained and offers a great variety of machines. The space feels clean, organized, and motivating. Another highlight is the wide range of group fitness classes available. The instructors bring positive energy and encouragement, making each class both effective and enjoyable. For families, the available childcare is a huge plus. It provides peace of mind knowing your children are in a safe, caring environment while you focus on your workout. Overall, the Georgia Mountains YMCA is more than just a gym--it's a supportive, community-centered space with exceptional staff, excellent facilities, and programs that truly meet the needs of individuals and families alike.

I have had several issues with them over the past 2 years and more so recently. Last night at the dinner table Liam let me know that when they went outside ALL of the class got popsicle for a snack except him because they said he was "bad"! This is not the first time that snacks had been with held from a student in his classroom. For a teacher(s) to think it is ok to not give a child a snack while everyone else is eating is absolutely absurd!! I am so thankful he is old enough to understand and to tell me this happened otherwise I would have never known! I wonder how many other kids this has happened to that their parents don't know.
