Thanks for all you do for kids.
🎉 Exciting news from the Indiana Statehouse! Thanks to collaborative efforts during the 2024 legislative session, afterschool programs in Indiana received some major wins. From increased access to childcare to defining OST programs in the Indiana Code, these changes will have a positive impact on youth development across the state. Learn more about the legislative victories and what they mean for our community.

My daughter loves attending AYS! When we drop her off, we know that she is in the hands of excellent staff who are also providing her with engaging opportunities!

Without AYS, I would not have the peace of mind that it provides for a working parent. The convenience of being at the school is irreplaceable.

AYS is a safe, reliable, and happy place for my child to be after school. The staff gives my child the attention and care that I don’t think he would get at another after-school program.

AYS’ dedication to the children was particularly highlighted during the pandemic. The staff worked tirelessly to create a fun atmosphere for the children by using creative and safe solutions to encourage critical peer interactions that were difficult to maintain throughout the pandemic.

My child completes her homework at AYS, which makes evenings easier. I feel very comfortable leaving my child with AYS staff. They do a great job!

It is helpful knowing that my child is in a safe and secure environment where she is educationally encouraged and challenged through many programs in the planned curriculum.
