Full Ranking Detail
kinder
Y School Age Kendall Elementary is a YMCA ChildWatch and Kidz Club program embedded at Kendall Elementary on Old San Antonio Rd in Boerne, serving school-age children with afterschool and drop-in care Monday–Saturday. The center maintains a clean HHSC record with zero high deficiencies and accepts subsidies, supporting families across the Kendall area. With a 160-person capacity and structured after-school programming, it offers convenient on-campus pickup and ChildWatch drop-in hours (8 a.m.–noon and 4–8 p.m. weekdays). School-age-only care (2:30–6:30 p.m.) and the absence of meals and full-day childcare mean this program is not a primary solution for families needing infant or preschool services.
