BYC Aftercare Enrichment

Our after-school enrichment program in Ballard is designed to provide children with a fun, engaging, and nurturing space to unwind, explore, and create after the school day. Rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, we believe that learning continues beyond the classroom through hands-on experiences, creative projects, and meaningful connections.

Each afternoon, children are welcomed into a warm, community-focused environment where they can choose from a variety of enriching activities. Whether they want to paint a masterpiece, bake a treat, practice yoga, or dive into theater, our creative program encourages self-expression and exploration. We also offer a photography class, where kids learn about composition, lighting, and storytelling through images.

Outdoor play and nature exploration are key components of our program. We encourage children to connect with the world around them, whether through gardening, beach walks, or group games outside. Social-emotional learning is woven into all activities, helping kids build confidence, independence, and strong friendships.

Our aftercare program provides a safe, inspiring space for kids to decompress, engage in activities that spark their curiosity, and explore their interests at their own pace. It’s more than just childcare—it’s a place where creativity, movement, and discovery thrive.

Join our Ballard after-school enrichment program and give your child a joyful, meaningful way to end the school day!
