Are you seeking a safe and affordable after-school option for your child this school year?
You’re not alone.
As the new school year approaches, many parents and caregivers are exploring the best ways to support their children during the crucial hours after school and before dinner.
According to the After-school Alliance, parents are increasingly turning to after-school programs to support their children’s health and development. The programs offer a secure and supervised environment that nurtures learning, growth, and overall well-being.
Unfortunately, cost and transportation barriers prevent many youngsters from accessing and benefiting from after-school programs.
To address these challenges, the College Station Parks and Recreation Department offers an affordable after-school program for children aged 6-15 at the Lincoln Recreation Center at 1000 Eleanor St. The program is led by well-trained staff in a structured, supportive environment.
Activities include games, sports, arts and crafts, and dedicated time for homework. It’s open to residents and non-residents.
Transportation is provided for a fee from South Knoll, College Hills, Rock Prairie, Southwood Valley, River Bend, Oakwood Intermediate, Cypress Grove Intermediate, A&M Consolidated Middle School, and International Leadership of Texas.
