Building a strong foundation. The YMCA of Austin offers afterschool care for children in grades K - 5 at more than 90 licensed sites in five Austin-area school districts (PK-4 offered at select locations) serving more than 4,000. The Afterschool Care Program provides on-site care for your child, beginning when school is dismissed and continuing until 6:30 p.m, at most locations (6pm at some locations).
Y Afterschool provides opportunities for physical, social-emotional and cognitive learning experiences. Participants gain a sense of achievement, build relationships and find their sense of belonging. For parents, Y Afterschool offers peace of mind from knowing their child is in a safe and enriching place.
