About Ray & Jamie Wolman Elementary
YMCA Afterschool at Wolman Elementary
YMCA's long-standing partnership with Wolman Elementary allows students to stay in a familiar, secure environment while parents finish their workday. The program operates directly out of the school cafeteria and gym, providing a seamless transition from the classroom to a mix of homework support and high-energy physical activity. By eliminating the need for off-site transportation, it offers a convenient and stable routine for busy families. Led by the YMCA of Greater Houston, the daily schedule focuses on social-emotional learning and character development through STEM projects and literacy exercises. Children enjoy structured group games alongside free play and are provided with healthy snacks including whole grains and fruit. While the site is a high-energy environment, it remains a reliable, licensed space for kindergarten through fifth-grade students to build friendships and stay active until pickup.
