Scranton JCC

Very rude white male working at the front desk. Don’t waste your time going to this gym to de-stress, he will give you a hard time. Maybe have him take a course on how to deal with the public in a kind way.

Today I am here for my nephews 9th birthday. The kids get an hour of swim time and the young girl at the pool with another gentle man sat on the side as the lifeguard and yelled “WALK” and then whispered and laughed while mocking the parents over and over. This is a kids party of 9 and under, us as the parents are telling the kids to not run but the girl and the gentleman were miserable. If they are not a fan of children they should not be in charge of monitoring them. The kids were also not always running but a fast paced walk, and parents were addressing it as seen so the addition comments were unnecessary. I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. If you have kids as lifeguards they need to know how to work with kids and parent.

Camps are pricey and their time for drop offs and pick ups are too strict. There is no forgiveness on time. As I was there at 3:06, lady claimed it was after 3:10. Do not go here if your not on the dot!!!

The pre-school is great at the JCC. We always feel safe dropping our daughter here and know she will have fun and learn in exciting ways every day. Ms. Amanda is an excellent pre- school teacher and Mrs. Ashley is an awesome director. We are so happy to have found this place for our child's first school experience!

Wonderful place! My family hasn't used all it has to offer but we have taken my two kids there for swimming lessons. They offer lessons for a very reasonable price and it's 1 on 1 so your child is assigned an instructor and they work at your child's pace. My son is autistic and I had taken him to a few other places for swimming lessons and it just wasn't working for him but as soon as he hit the water with his instructor at the JCC he immediately felt much comfortable and was able to build a trust with them. It didn't take too long before they had him swimming across the length of the entire pool all by himself! Also we have used and continue to use the Jewish Family Services in the other side of the building and again they are also amazing! For privacy reasons I can't get into too much detail about it but they've worked with my son for years now. They just know how to connect with my son unlike any other professionals ever have. Wonderful wonderful people!
