YMCA After School Care program expanding into Conroe area schools and needs parental input

The YMCA makes the most of your 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 your child the opportunity to participate in active play and collaborate on fun
projects. But YMCA After School programs are more than childcare. 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. Care is provided on site at the school
campus, Monday – Friday, from school dismissal – 6:30pm.

In our continued efforts to support the Conroe families, the Woodlands Family YMCA, in
partnership with Conroe ISD, is excited to share that we are planning to expand and launch after
school programs at additional campuses in the Conroe area through a phased approach. To
ensure sustainability, each site must demonstrate viability with a minimum of 15–20 students
expressing interest in order to proceed.

Below is a link to a parent interest survey. Survey deadline is September 1st.
