Boys and Girls Club of Murray and Midvale

It puts up a good front as a Boys and Girls Club. But no one ever calls you back... The front person is nice but doesn't know everything so she transfers calls but the Juniors Director never returns phone calls its seems. The teens get into trouble more than not and the ""Area Director""- Terra, she only cares about her favorite kids. If you are not a favorite- tough luck, Terra will be to busy and the Teen Director is a freaking joke- talk about not running a smooth healthy program. Wish there were more options in SLC that don't cost an arm and a leg. You really get what you pay for here..... more

When I got Divorced, I needed a place to take my kids. I looked all over the Valley to find a place where I could take all of my children. I needed to know they would be safe after school. \r \r My journey hasn't been easy. If not for the Club, I don't know where my children would be. It is a place that has given more than just child care. The club has helped with extras and teachers have helped my kids out so much.\r \r \r Thanks for all you do for my family.\r \r Love, \r \r Sharon Pros: It is more than childcare, its a home away from home. Cons: I don't know of Any! more

this place is a joke very unorganized and the teachers are nothing more then college students who cant deal with the children. I had my 3 yr old daughter and my 6 yr old son he was in kindergarten and i was called at work multiple times to pick him up because they were hours late when the school would call and let me know they would also call the boys and girls club but they would still take an hour or two to pick him up even if i called them directly so i had to leave work multiple times. also my son was in a class with a teacher who was constantly telling me he was behaving badly so we started disciplinging him without question but soon i grew suspicious so i asked her what he had done that was so bad and she said he was being too noisey and that when he spoke it was so loud it gave her a headache heeeelllloooo he is a child!!! the last straw was when they took my son to the playground park and he found a friend at the playground and when they called the childrent o come back in he didnt hear and stayed and played at the park that happened around 1pm when they got back they didnt realsize for an hour and then they started looking for him. 2 hours later they found him but i was notified untill i came and picked him up they said they didint want to upset me and then find him anyway. what if something would have happened or he was kidnapped he would have been gone for who knows how long before they called me and told me. and after all of that they threatened to expell him for geting lost \r \r needless to say dont take your kids here they are the worst orginization i have ever heard of. Cons: everything if you care for your kids dont take them here more

the address listed of 944 E. Vine Street in not correct. The building is located at 244 East on Jones Street (just South of Vine Street). next to Murray Park more

The Boys & Girls Club seek donations when they charge a great deal for day care. They are very shady, unorganized, and unprofessional. \r \r They were always late taking my son to school and picking him up, needless to say I stopped taking him there!!!! \r \r Please be careful leaving your children there!! \r more

My 6 year old son has been picked up reputably late or dropped off when he didn?t have school by the Boys & Girls Club organization. I have had to leave work to go get my son, because they forgot to pick him up!\r I have repeatedly complained to staff there at Boys & Girls Club and have been told by their staff, that it wasn?t their fault because they are short staff / drivers and when I have been asked to speak to the Director Ms. Marlena Griego, I am was always offered her voice mail. I didn?t want to talk to her voice mail, especially since in the past when they had an accounting error on my payments and I left several messages, I received no response!!! Their computer accidentally charged me for an extra week and when I tried to talk to Matt their accounting person I was told I was wrong! I had to write a letter and then finally saw her in her office weeks later and was able to talk to her then. It took almost a month for them to fix their mistake. I was told their computer accidentally charged me for an extra week. \r I have been told nothing but excuses when trying to resolve issues with them and have never ever received an apology!!! Ms. Marlena Griego told me she was sorry that I feel like they don?t do a good job, but never apologized for leaving my son at school.\r This is not something I am making up, several teachers and faculty member at my son school, Woodstock Elementary have told me that my Kindergartener is consistently picked up late by Boys & Girls Club and that they are VERY UNIMPRESSED with the Boys & Girls Club organization and that it isn?t just my child they are forgetting about. \r I have never been late paying them for my son?s daycare, but subsequently their Club charges other parents when they are late on payments or picking up their children late. It is only fair that they be charged for their blunders. Cons: VERY UNORGANIZED & Unprofessional more

My two sons have been attending the club for about 4 months now. They are a lifesaver! I can't say enough about the teachers. Miss Angela in the Blue Room has done more for my 5-year-old than I could have ever dreamed! The ratio of staff to children is fabulous, and they always have some type of project or field trip planned. They do wonderful hands-on craft projects that teaches the children about sharing and about exploring their world. I wish they were open on the weekends and later during the week, but aside from that, I would recommend that anyone enroll their children. Pros: staff, projects, interest in kids more
