The Y makes the most of a child’s after school time by offering active learning opportunities designed to engage and expand young minds. Housed in local schools, YMCA After School Care gives children the opportunity to participate in active play and collaborate on fun projects. But YMCA After School programs are more than child care. They offer a path with a purpose. Students engage in a variety of structured activities that promote positive social interactions, indoor and outdoor play and reinforce academic learning concepts, as well as lessons in empathy, inclusion and service learning.

Lessons are designed to educate our Katy ISD students about being safe online and when using devices. While we encourage digital citizenship throughout the year, each class receives a lesson designed specifically for their grade level when they visit the library. Click here for more information.
