After School Care
Enriching Afterschool Child Care in Katy, TX
At Hooray Playground in Katy, TX, we see afterschool hours as a valuable extension of the school day—an opportunity to nurture curiosity, creativity, and connection. Our afterschool child care program is designed to do more than keep children occupied; it enriches their development in meaningful, lasting ways.
Mindful Moments: Guided mindfulness activities help children unwind, build emotional awareness, and develop self-regulation skills. These quiet moments create space for reflection and help children transition smoothly from the school day to play.
Creative Corners: Daily art, music, and storytelling sessions encourage imagination and self-expression. Children explore different mediums and themes, building confidence in their unique voice and ideas.
Community Building: Group games and collaborative projects foster empathy, teamwork, and leadership. Through shared experiences, children learn to listen, support one another, and celebrate collective success.
Whether your child is painting, problem-solving, or practicing kindness, every moment at Hooray is thoughtfully designed to support their growth and joy.
A Place to Feel Safe and Seen
At Hooray Playground, safety is more than supervision—it’s about creating an environment where children feel emotionally secure and genuinely cared for. Our staff build strong, trusting relationships with each child, offering consistency and compassion throughout the afternoon. From check-in to pick-up, we prioritize routines that help kids feel grounded and supported. Children are greeted by name, encouraged to share how they’re feeling, and given space to be themselves.
Joyful Learning Through Play
We believe play is a powerful tool for learning. Our afterschool program blends structured activities with open-ended exploration, allowing children to discover new interests and build essential life skills. Whether they’re engaging in group games, creative arts, or quiet reflection, every moment is designed to spark curiosity and confidence. We rotate themes weekly to keep things fresh and exciting, from science experiments to collaborative storytelling and imaginative building challenges.
Social-Emotional Growth
Beyond academics, we focus on helping children develop emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Daily activities include opportunities for teamwork, empathy-building, and self-expression. Through guided interactions and thoughtful facilitation, kids learn to navigate friendships, manage emotions, and celebrate their individuality. Our staff model respectful communication and help children resolve conflicts in constructive ways, creating a culture of kindness and inclusion.
A Thoughtful End to the Day
Afternoons at Hooray are intentionally paced to help children unwind and recharge. After a busy school day, they benefit from a mix of movement, creativity, and calm. Whether painting, storytelling, or simply relaxing with friends, children leave feeling refreshed and ready for tomorrow. We aim to send each child home not just safe and happy, but proud of what they’ve experienced and learned.
