Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Aberdeen Family YMCA is an award winner for child care providers in 2019.

If you are looking for a child care provider that will provide your kids with a safe and exciting environment to learn and grow in, look no further than this award-winning company!

Aberdeen Family YMCA has received many overwhelmingly positive reviews across three different verified sites with an average rating of 4.66 stars, earning them an impressive Rating Score™ of 92.58 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking as one of the top three child care providers in South Dakota!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I have had memberships elsewhere in Aberdeen, and honestly, none of them compare to the Y. I want[ed] to have a place to take my daughter to swim in winter and not have to spend a small fortune for summer swimming, and the Y is the only place we can do that while still being able to work out. The variety of classes and equipment is unmatched. With some of the new things they have gotten within this last year, it makes my workout that much more enjoyable. [I] highly recommend [this] facility!” – E.C.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Aberdeen Family YMCA is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Child Care Providers

We were excited to learn all about how Aberdeen Family YMCA has been able to build such an impressive reputation, so we sat down with the Youth Development Center Director, Kayley Johnson.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Aberdeen Family YMCA stand apart from their local competitors. Kayley told us about the vast number of opportunities they offer to kids. They work hard to provide kids of all ages with a safe, clean, and fun environment to play in.

We talked about the business mission of the YMCA, which Kayley elaborated on by sharing:

“Our mission in childcare is to nurture and love the kids like they are our own and continue to help them grow.”

Building Success Through Connection

With as impressive a reputation as Aberdeen Family YMCA has, it is no wonder word of mouth has been their primary source for new clients. In fact, Kayley tells us they really don’t invest in any other kind of marketing.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Aberdeen Family YMCA has managed to. We asked if Kayley could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what they had to say:

“It’s [about] what you provide. Ask people to share their stories, how it’s touched them, and what they’ve loved about it.”


Congratulations to Aberdeen Family YMCA for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Kayley for taking the time to speak with us!
