What makes us different from other programs?

• Program: We offer 2 swim trips a week, 1 field trip every week and specialty sports each week which include soccer, kickball, softball, flag football and soccer.  All the fees are included in the price, unlike other programs.
• Hours: We are open from 7:15-6:30; typically other programs open later or close earlier.
• Weekly Sessions: We make it convenient for parents to enroll by providing weekly sessions.
• Curriculum Activities: We offer developmentally appropriate activities and projects, which are created by our on-site Curriculum Coordinator. We encourage reading during the summer through our literature based curriculum themes.
• Experience: We have been partnering with Central Texas school districts for 40 years.
• Resources: We are the largest childcare organization in Central Texas.
• Reliability: To support working parents, we operate all day, after school, on student holidays, and during the summer.
• Quality: The best staff members are chosen to work for us during the summer.  We offer trained staff and low ratios (17 students: 1 childcare provider at max). We are licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, which provides monitoring and random site visits.
• Certification: Every staff member is certified in CPR and 1st Aid.  All afternoon staff are certified in Basic Water Safety as well.

  Affordability: Annually, we provide over $1 million in financial assistance to low-income families.

Activities

Throughout the summer your child will experience varied and enriching activities such as basketball, soccer, baseball, flag football, arts & crafts, cooking, painting and much more! Our summer curriculum is based on weekly themes from literature books our students read at EAC, and offers children a constant source of new and interesting material and activities.
