Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was extremely disappointing and unnecessarily stressful for my family. My child was initially accepted into this summer program, and based on that official acceptance, I made summer arrangements and planned accordingly. As a single mother, securing reliable childcare is not easy, and being informed less than two weeks before summer begins that my child was being moved to a waitlist due to over-enrollment created an incredibly difficult situation. While an email we received was polite and apologetic, the situation itself reflects a serious lack of organization, planning, and accountability. Families — especially working parents — rely on these programs and make important decisions based on the information provided. Once acceptance notices are sent, parents should be able to trust that commitment will be honored. The most upsetting part was not only the inconvenience and stress of suddenly scrambling to find alternative childcare on such short notice, but also having to explain to my child that something they had already been accepted into was suddenly no longer guaranteed because of administrative issues beyond our control. No child should have to experience that kind of disappointment. I understand that unexpected challenges can arise, but proper enrollment management and clearer communication should have happened before acceptance notifications were sent out. Unfortunately, this experience left me questioning the professionalism, reliability, and overall management of the program. I sincerely hope changes are made moving forward so other families do not experience the same stress, inconvenience, and disappointment.

You know they are ghetto 💀it's a club what do I expect 💀 LMAO 💀I seen things kids shouldn't see lol 😂💀fun activities sometimes I Ani't a people person of course so of course I only went there for lunch and snacks and tried to stay inside most of the time or outside on the brick wall unless I wanted to annoy someone liked a activity or tried to make friends just to have something to do and if I wanted something from them 💀we just played all day and of course I was forced to finish my homework before play time and I gave the annoying kid all my school snacks because I ate too much even though I usually keep all my grub to myself and we were crowded all in one age group room which needed constant monitoring 💀of course I was the youngest of all so I was respectful and respected most of the time I know boys play ruff but dam 💀not that I was just shy but I am a introvert

Bad experience with Summer care at Orange Park Jr. with the female teachers yelling at students and the teachers talking bad about my son in front of me. I gave an extra star because the summer care at Montclair has been great. It’s a drastic difference between the two schools. I appreciate that the boys and girls club offers summer care but I think the teachers are just too overwhelmed with the middle school aged kids and assume the worst of that age. Just a heads up to parents.

Who is over this raggedy establishment. You don’t accept a child then turn around and say oh we have too many children. That means someone didn’t do their job properly. Even if a spot opens up I wouldn’t send my child here.
