Bronx House Inc.

Warning: Toxic Work Environment I recently left Bronx House due to concerns about management practices. While the organization's mission is admirable, I encountered issues with transparency, communication, and leadership. Specifically, I raised concerns about a Director qualifications, experience, and ability to support staff. Unfortunately, these concerns were not adequately addressed. I'm worried that personal connections may influence decision-making, compromising the organization's effectiveness. Bronx House needs a thorough examination of its structural issues to better serve its community. High turnover rates will persist without systemic changes. Prioritize accountability, transparency, and staff well-being I hope future stakeholders will prioritize accountability, transparency, and staff well-being. Shocking: Bronx House has failed every single DYCD site visit in the past 3 years. Yet, they still receive funding. To DYCD: Reevaluate funding for an organization that consistently fails to meet standards. Concerning: Talented staff leave due to unsustainable working conditions. Without systemic changes, high turnover rates will persist. Specific Concerns: • Leon, Howie, Madonna, and Marie foster a toxic environment. Their behavior and management styles need scrutiny. • Board of Directors: It's time for change. Oversee reforms and hold leadership accountable. To potential employees: Beware of the toxic environment. You deserve better. I no longer work here, but I hope my review helps others make informed decisions.

Horrible. Nobody picks up the phone. If your child goes here it's a crap shoot to get in touch with anyone. Phone reception is disturbingly rude. They hang up, don't pickup,...no organization. They have seriously declined from how great they once were. Don't send your kids here. Nightmare

My kid has attended the swim & dance classes here for over a year. The staff have been great thus far. Always professional & respectful. The dance instructors are patient & make the classes fun and exciting. The swim instructors are energetic, encouraging and very engaging with the kids. The new director is impressive. You can see he has a genuine interest in making things better. He has presented new ideas that I believe will help improve the program. On the flip side I can see the facility has seen better days. The building could use a deep cleaning and a fresh coat of paint as a quick fix. However I do hope in the near future they either renovate the building and or fix the much needed repairs and update the antiquated paper system.

My family loves the Bronx House. They have a new swimming director who is wonderful with the kids. All the teachers we have had have been great here. The performing arts program is top notch. My kids have taken many dance and music classes and all have been excellent teachers. My husband and I recently started taking private music classes as well. The Bronx House is the best!

My daughter comes here for swimming she loves it , this is her 3rd level in swimming. She also goes to vacation camp and is attending this 2023 summer camp. I never had an issue here. I love what they offer. I wish there was more communication though, last week class was canceled & I was not informed. Overall does need a little update, BUT THE FACT that THEY OFFER SO MANY THINGS for the community who cares. The prices are fair!!
