after school programs

The YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth is one of the largest providers of school-age child care in Tarrant County. Whether at the school site or at the YMCA, children are given a supervised, structured before-and-after school fun place to be. Many branches' school-age child care programs are located on-site for the convenience of working parents.

ii. After School Child Care

Eastside YMCA

After a long academic day, kids want to have fun! At the YMCA, we provide a balanced program of choices and structured activities. Research shows that kids do better in school when they are engaged in enriching activities during after school hours. We provide an educational environment with a unique mix of activities that focus on the assets necessary for positive development, while keeping the afternoon fun!

Before enrolling in YMCA After School Program, the Parent Handbook and Registration Packet must be completed, signed and returned to the YMCA branch. Pick up your packets at the Eastside YMCA front desk.
