These centers focus on providing engaging, developmentally appropriate learning experiences for our community's youngest members.Our affordable programs allow parents to confidently work or complete their education, knowing their children are safe and engaged in fun, enriching activities. Financial aid scholarships are available for qualifying families, ensuring no child is turned away due to financial hardship. Annual fundraising efforts help support these financial assistance awards.

GRANT-FUNDED AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS: Claytons grant-funded afterschool programs are free to families and serve approximately 1,900 youth annually. These programs, funded through school districts, crime prevention initiatives, and Texas 21st Century Community Learning Center grants, provide comprehensive on-campus enrichment. Children with high academic and/or social needs are identified by school staff and recruited for participation over the summer, with open enrollment available to all students at the start of the school year. These programs play a vital role in juvenile crime prevention, academic enrichment, and improving math and literacy outcomes for students.
