Top Child care agencys in Queens, United States

The Boys and girls club use to be great to deal with! Now, not so good. You call the # which prompts you to email, they answer you back a few months later...how professional is that!?... There's always some excuse........

Horrible work environment do not work here they treat the workers like slaves and the supervisors are on a power trip. Serious narcissist behavior. Unprofessional and young untrained staff members that try create friction amongst other employees. Do not waste your money at this camp that can’t even afford cool trips or buses to take your kids to these trips.

Worst work environment ever. If I could give less than 1 star I would. Too much secrecy and favoritism. They hire you on the first day and act like they want people to work there but inquire about your schedule or even when you're getting paid and you'll get fired. And I still didn't get paid for the days I worked despite being told over and over again that "someone" would call me. A lot of the staff are also untrained younger people so that the director (a major narcissist) can remain unchallenged in his domain. Do not waste your money and send your children here.

Waste of money, dont bring your kids here if you have morals. Even the staff dont care about the kids. Directors in charge gaslight and only care about their own reputations. Kids there Arent treated well. I worked for them during the summer and I can say they made me question my ability to watch a kid in a gym when My eyes were glued to them the whole time. They make excuses and they don’t even let a counselor try to help take care of a kid. They plan trips in 90+ weather and make the kids walk through this heat.. and then they blame me and my group for trying to give our attention to the kids as if they are slaves. I’d give it -1 stars if I could.

Variety Boys and Girls Club offers the best swimming classes around. We tried other classes in Astoria and none compare to the price, teachers, results at Variety Boys and Girls Cub. Our daughter started lessons when she was 4 and can now swim all by herself. The classes are held throughout the year (with 2 week breaks in between sessions). There is a structured lesson plan for the classes and sessions. All children are evaluated at the end of each session. The staff and teachers are really supportive. I highly recommend this place for lessons.

My son has attended 2 Summer Camps and 1 year of Afterschool, I can tell you that Variety is a jewel. Variety has a great "variety" of programs.
The Afterschool program is outstanding and my son really looks forward to coding, robotics and cooking. Most of all he likes that he has choices as to which "club" he can attend and, to him, it doesn't feel like he's in school. The staff creates a very warm and caring environment. The kids are respected. I could go on and on...Thank you Variety!

The BEST after school program/summer camp in Queens! My 10 year old has been in 4 different programs, she was not happy in any place other than The Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable, they offer a mass variety of programs. The summer camp is jam packed full of exciting trips, activities & swimming too! They offer all of this for a fraction of other school programs. Keep up the good work and a big thanks to the staff for being so awesome!

My son has attended both after school and summer camp at the Club and he LOVES it. The new team has made tons of even MORE positive changes this year. The day to day offers more variety (mini camps each day for the kids to choose from) and of course the indoor pool has been renovated and is gorgeous.
The Admin is super organized and communication with parents has never been better. So happy to be part of this amazing organization that is a shining star in our community.
