Southington-Cheshire Community YMCA

Overall during my 2 years in being employed with the company I would say I had a good time. I was treated right and was given plenty of hours. It allowed me to take a leadership role as I was a role model to the children. Besides being in school from 8ish hours a day, myself and the other counselors were with the children for the most of their elementary school careers, and it was up to us to show them the rights and wrongs, as well as do our best to prepare them for the middle school environment. Overall I would recommend this job for anyone who are looking to work with children as it’s a good way to get a feel for what it would be like to look after a larger group of children. On top of that I would recommend this job for any new people in the work force as they have a casual dress code, as well as the work load isn’t over bearing, and they are flexible with schooling and other commitments.

Most of the staff are very friendly. The management is good. Worked in multiple departments. Fun job, but also stressful at times when dealing with children. Free membership, or a discount on family plans is awesome. I love seeing the difference that I am making and the impact I have made with kids. Some Supervisors do play favorites, which is tough to deal with. Hardest part as an employee is seeing how the employees who have been there for a years or who are best friends with supervisors getting away with things they tell you not to do.

I worked at the YMCA in high school and when I moved back home after my summer internship, I got back in touch with my old boss and she offered me a position as an assistant site coordinator at one of the after school programs. This role entails being in charge of not only 95 children per day throughout the week, but also overseeing the counselors who worked at the site. Every day, I filed time and attendance sheets and kept track of the children files. I would greet parents and discuss anything that may have happened that day with their child, good or bad. I would answer phones and any questions a parent or guardian may have had.

I liked working with my coworkers, and I at first really enjoyed working there, but working with kids eventually burnt me out. In addition, one of the bosses was abrasive and very stressful for me to work with. I never got a compliment from her in the time I worked there; everything she ever said was negative. The stress of working around her was a main reason why I quit. 

Also, for some reason a surprising amount of shady people work there for it being a preschool. Just saying.

The YMCA offers a wide range of career options in multiple fields.  I would personally recommend the Child Care School Age department because I have enjoyed working with this department over the last two years.  I was offered a promotion with a salary increase and accepted.  The advancement of my career has made me enjoy my job more and learn more about my career.

If you are looking for a good job with a great work environment, amazing coworkers and nonstop fun the Southington ymca is the place to be. A job working before and/or after care at the Ymca comes with the joy of being a kid again. You’ll get to spend a few fantastic hours playing board games, gym activities, running around outside etc. 
College students!!!! 
If you are looking for a nice easy part time job this is the job for you come  work morning care!!the job I.D a few hours ever weekday morning.

It's a great place to work. Everyone is so friendly, and the work environment is not so strict. When I work there is just supervision, and making sure the kids are safe while having a fun time here at the community center! The only hard part if anyone is injured or hurt, it needs to be recorded just for safety reasons and usually people would forget but that's pretty much it. I do enjoy my job for now, especially as a college student. But I know after I have to find a job with my degree.

this was a great place for me to work, i improved my comm skills, moved my way up, and loved what i did there.

typical day at work
oversee paperwork, safety, state regulations, over see that staff are complying with what they are supposed to be doing, maintaining a safe environment for staff and children, comm with parents which is very important.

Helping children learn and grow and become a productive member of the community. Establishing good relationships with co-workers and families. Getting to be part of the community through participation in events. Knowing you have the influence to change a Childs life in positive ways.

Exactly what the title says.  The kids and staff are amazing. But the leadership is something that needs to change if it hasn't already.  Unfortunately, there is blatant favoritism coupled with poor planning that causes discourse amongst staff and leadership.  Being dishonest about expectations and what you are looking for seems to be the way of life.
