About The Riley Youth Community Center Serving Pike & Washington Townships, IN

Serving Local Families For Nearly A Decade

In 2018, The Riley Youth Community Center was opened right here in Pike Township as a hub for local events. Over the years, we’ve grown to offer before- and after-school care and school break programming for children in this community and those nearby. Now we’re proud to welcome younger students to our preschool program as we continue to inspire our youth to go out into the world and accomplish whatever they set their minds to.

Founder and Executive Director Leatrice Riley has led our dedicated team of educators and support staff since Day One. With a Child Development Associate’s credential and years of experience, she’s on site every day, welcoming families and children, and inspiring positive change.

Playful Learning & Support That Sets Students Up For Success

With a focus on literacy, STEM, and creativity, our curriculum not only supports your child’s academic success but unlocks their unique talents, encourages their confidence, and builds their character.

Extended Hours & Wholesome Meals Included To Support Busy Families

Our care is designed to inspire learners and provide busy working parents with the back-up they need. Open 6:00 am – 8:00 pm, we work with your schedule, including resources, therapy, and healthy meals and snacks to make the whole experience smooth and seamless for you.

Parent Partnerships Made Easy With The Playground App

We know that children thrive when their parents are involved in their education. With the easy-to-use Playground app, you get updates on your child’s activities and progress, so you’re always in the loop.

Celebrations Bring Our Whole Community Together

Remembering our roots as a community event space, we love to get everyone together for family fundraisers, dances, and brunches. Our events are a great chance to meet other local families, and our annual gala is an unmissable highlight.
