About Wheelock Elementary School
YWCAre After-School at Wheelock Elementary
Located within Wheelock Elementary, the YWCAre program has been serving the Lubbock community since 1988. This after-school initiative provides a safe, structured environment for students from the end of the school day until 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The curriculum balances academic support with recreational freedom, offering dedicated time for homework completion alongside creative projects and active play on the school's outdoor playground. As an extension of the YWCA Lubbock organization, the program is committed to accessible childcare and accepts state subsidies. Students receive a daily healthy snack through the USDA Child & Adult Care Food Program. While the program benefits from the school's existing facilities, it maintains its own dedicated registration and waitlist policies to ensure quality supervision for all 35 licensed spots. It offers a reliable solution for working parents seeking a familiar school environment for their children's afternoon care.
