“My son has been attending YMDA since Sept 2024. Before starting in the toddler room, he had limited vocabulary and was slow to talk. Since September, his language skills have increased astronomically, he can count up to 60, he knows all of his colors and he is learning instruction in both Spanish and English. Each day, the kids get instructional lessons, art time, outdoor play, free play…my son comes home happy and he’s thriving under the care of his teachers. As a working parent, the hours at YMDA (7am-5pm) make it possible for me to work full time and know my child is well taken care of. Thank you YMDA for your exceptional care.”

“I am absolutely impressed with this daycare. I came in with real concerns about the care my child received at a previous daycare, and let me tell you—they truly listened. During our conversations, they not only acknowledged my concerns but also explained how they would address them, which gave me immediate confidence. When the director says she has an open-door policy, she genuinely means it. My son has only been there for two days, but I already feel a huge sense of relief. I actually cried when I picked him up today because of how reassured I felt. The teachers are attentive and communicative—they shared how his day went and addressed my worries about things like crying or engagement with patience and understanding. They reassured me that his adjustment is completely normal and that they’re actively supporting him through it. To the director and the toddler teachers, thank you for your care, compassion, and professionalism. I am truly grateful—and so happy I found this daycare.”

"Young Minds is so much more than just a childcare facility. My kids have been going here for 2 years now and when I tell you they have FLOURISHED here, I truly mean it. My family has gone through a lot recently and YMDA has given more support than any community organization. From the owner, to the director, to all of the teachers and staff, this place is really something special. The fact that they do school drop off and pickup for school age children in the Renton School District is also huge. Putting my kids in daycare for the first time was hard, but YMDA immediately put me at ease and have taken care of my kids like they are their own. I wouldn't trust ANYONE else with my kids. Also, the events they host for the kids are amazing! From field trips to BBQs and school dances, I've never seen another childcare facility go all out for kids the way YMDA does."
