About Gullett Eac Ymca
Enriching After-School Care at Gullett
The Gullett EAC YMCA program provides a structured and engaging environment for students from dismissal until 6:15 PM. Operating directly on the Gullett Elementary campus, the program leverages the school's unique resources, including classroom gardens, a Green School Park, and a diverse collection of animals. The curriculum emphasizes Social Emotional Learning (SEL), creative expression, and physical activity, ensuring children have 'Voice & Choice' in their afternoon activities. Staffed by trained professionals who undergo extensive FBI background checks and exceed state training requirements, the program prioritizes accountability and child safety. Students enjoy healthy snacks and participate in hands-on learning that complements their school day. With over 50 years of YMCA experience in Austin, the program offers a well-organized solution for families seeking affordable, on-site care that balances academic support with active outdoor play and animal interaction.
