Odessa Family YMCA Provides Parents with Peace of Mind and Support: Klein's Story

Like many Odessa parents, Chelsie Montgomery dreams of giving her child a better life. She loves her son, Klein, but was faced with tough choices when it came to childcare and its traditional operating hours. She is a student at the University of Texas of Permian Basin (UTPB) and also works full-time to provide for Klein. When she discovered the Odessa YMCA's night-time care, it was an answered prayer.

"One day, I'll be independent," Montgomery said teary-eyed about pursuing her education. “The Y supports me in my goals.”

She's relieved that she doesn't have to worry about her 2-year-old son Klein while she's hitting the books.

"The staff takes such great care of my Klein," Montgomery said, adding that his teacher Bianca always has a smile. But it's not just the Odessa YMCA's level of care--it's what Klein is learning that has her impressed.

"They are teaching my child and getting him school ready," she said. "The Y has already taught him all his ABC's and he's not even three."
​
Ms. Montgomery is one step closer to providing the life she has been tirelessly working toward as she will graduate this summer from UTPB with her bachelor’s degree.
