About Brentwood Eac Ymca
YMCA Afterschool at Brentwood Elementary
Located on-site at Brentwood Elementary, the Extend-A-Care YMCA program provides a seamless transition from the school day to a structured afternoon environment. The curriculum is specifically aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) academic standards, ensuring children stay engaged with STEM projects, creative expression, and social-emotional learning initiatives. As part of a partnership with Austin ISD, the program emphasizes character development and the 'whole child' approach in a familiar campus setting. The program is the result of a long-standing merger between the YMCA of Austin and Extend-A-Care, bringing over 50 years of combined experience to the Austin community. Operating from dismissal until 6:15 PM, the program includes daily afternoon snacks and access to the school’s modernized facilities, including the gym and outdoor playground. All staff members undergo extensive background checks and receive specialized training in child development and safety.
