2026 - 2027 School Age Child Care
The YMCA of Central New Mexico’s school-age extended day learning fills your child’s Out of School time with creative and constructive opportunities. Through our program, school-age children participate in individual and group activities that extend the learning experience.
The YMCA of Central New Mexico is one of the state’s largest child care provider, with 9 early learning, preschool and after-school centers. We are dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable programs that nurtures children’s healthy social, physical, and mental development. When children enter our Out of School Time program a world of imagination and growth opens up.
In addition to supplementing what children learn in school, they will also:
- Participate in interactive learning models that engage critical thinking skills
- Get assistance with their homework from trained Y staff
- Form long-lasting friendships that enhance their development, growth and self-confidence
Acequia Madre Elementary
The YMCA proudly offers services onsite at Acequia Madre Elementary School. Our program encourages children to take the lead while supporting their development through a variety of projects, group games, homework assistance, team building, and communication skill-building activities. Children come directly to the program after dismissal, where they are greeted by YMCA staff and provided with a healthy snack to help them unwind after their day. From there, they continue learning and engaging in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. We also accept New Mexico’s Universal Child Care program. Our program operates from the first day to the last day of the school year, including early dismissal Fridays, ensuring children are safe, engaged, and well cared for after school.
