Before & After School Indianapolis, IN

Riley Youth Community Center’s School Age Program for children ages 5–13 in Pike and Washington Townships provides a safe, structured before- and after-school environment where children can learn, relax, connect, and recharge. After a full school day, students receive homework help from supportive staff, enjoy outdoor play and social time with friends, and participate in enriching activities that encourage creativity, literacy, confidence, and academic growth. With daily dinner provided after school and programming designed to support both children and busy families, students stay engaged, nourished, and supported beyond the classroom.
