After-School
After-School Program Overview
Not all after-hours child care programs are made the same.
During the extended-hours programs of your child’s current day school, they may be playing on the same playground equipment, in the same classrooms, and with the same educational materials with which they have interacted with throughout the day. Other child care situations can’t offer a full menu of varied activities to keep your child active and engaged, or certified teachers to effectively help with homework.
That’s why we have designed our After-School Program to please both parents and children. Our safe transportation service relieves you of the stressful mid-afternoon dash from work, tutoring services ensure they get their schoolwork done, and Montessori-based guidance from our certified instructors keeps them on the path to success in grade school and in life.
What We Offer
We offer refreshments, snacks, and tutoring services, as well as a variety of engaging activities such as culinary and gardening classes, arts and crafts, outdoor activities and much more.

Elementary Schools We Pick Up From
Austin Children’s Academy picks up from schools within a 5-mile radius from our campus. We determine the schools that we pick up on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once you register your child in the program, their school will be confirmed and included in our bus route.
We have picked up from schools in the Round Rock ISD, Leander ISD, as well as other private and charter schools.
*Note: The program will follow the School District Academic Calendar.
Tutoring Services
At ACA, we encourage children to complete their school assignments, but with a distinct and decided advantage. All of our teachers are Montessori-certified. This means instructors must continue their own training in childhood education and the Montessori Method on a continuing, three-to-five-year basis in order to retain their credentials.
During the after-school program tutoring hour, our teachers bring the full weight of that experience and expertise. They’re up-to-date about optimizing the learning process, guiding your child through the homework labyrinth in a way that ensures that he or she will retain more understanding and do it with less stress and heightened interest.
Enrichment Programs
An after-school program is an opportunity for your child to get up and move after spending most of their day sitting in a classroom. Your student will have full access to two fully-enclosed and monitored playgrounds, as well as open spaces available for picnicking, sports, and free play.
Our enrichment programs vary and are meant to allow your child to indulge their creativity, engage in group projects, as well as to be introduced to extracurricular activities that they wouldn’t normally be exposed to during a regular school day.
Examples of enrichment programs we offer include:
- Cooking Projects
- Theater Productions
- Gymnastics
- Dance
- Soccer (and other pick-up sports)
- Art (of all kinds)
- Water Play
