Robertson Elementary Frisco YMCA is a YMCA-backed after-school program serving kindergarten and elementary-school children at 2501 Woodlake Parkway in Little Elm, operating 2:30 PM–6:30 PM daily with on-campus pickup at Robertson Elementary. The center is Texas Rising Star certified and Praesidium accredited, offering subsidies at affordable rates and maintaining a 1:15 student-staff ratio well below state requirements. Daily programming includes structured homework support, enrichment in character development, STEM, and arts, plus at least 30 minutes of physical activity, with healthy snacks included and no additional fees for enrichment activities. Sibling and ISD employee discounts apply, though the program is after-school only and two high-severity state health and human services deficiencies warrant parental review before enrollment.
