At La Mère Academy, we understand that your child’s well-being doesn’t end when the school bell rings. That’s why our after school care program is built around a simple promise: to provide a safe, social, and supervised environment that parents in Leander can trust. Our goal isn’t just to watch over children until pickup time — it’s to enrich, engage, and elevate their after school hours with meaningful interaction, secure surroundings, and structured support. We’re not an extension of the school day. We’re a springboard for growth.
The Safety-First Foundation
Safety is the cornerstone of everything we do. From the moment your child enters our doors until they are reunited with you, their physical and emotional security is our top priority. Our after school care program is staffed with trained, vetted professionals who not only meet but exceed local licensing standards. We perform rigorous background checks, implement real-time sign-in/sign-out tracking systems, and maintain low staff-to-child ratios to ensure every child receives personalized attention.
Our campus is equipped with secure access points, video monitoring, and emergency protocols that give parents peace of mind. But safety isn’t just about locks and alarms. It’s also about fostering a culture where children feel respected, heard, and emotionally supported. Our team receives continual training in positive behavioral support and child supervision best practices. We take proactive steps to resolve conflicts, prevent bullying, and encourage emotional intelligence through communication and empathy-building exercises.
Safe after school care at La Mère Academy isn’t just a feature — it’s our foundation. We believe that children thrive when they feel protected, and that belief drives every decision we make.
Social Skills That Grow Beyond the Classroom
At La Mère Academy, we view after school programs as more than a time-filler — they are a social laboratory where lifelong skills are developed. Our activities are intentionally designed to encourage collaboration, friendship-building, and the cultivation of empathy. Whether your child gravitates toward group games, creative arts, science experiments, or structured team challenges, we provide opportunities for them to connect with peers in ways that foster mutual respect and cooperation.
We understand that the after school hours are a time when children unwind from the structure of the classroom, and we embrace this with a blend of free-play and guided activities. But even during play, our staff are active facilitators, helping children navigate social situations and offering gentle guidance when needed. Our team members are experts at spotting teachable moments, whether it’s resolving a disagreement during a board game or encouraging inclusion during a group project.
Through our programs, children not only make new friends — they develop social confidence, leadership, and emotional maturity that serve them well in school and beyond. For Leander parents looking for after school care that supports the whole child, our academy is the place where social skills come to life.
Supervised for Success
Supervision is not a passive activity at La Mère Academy — it’s an engaged, intentional process that shapes every child’s experience. Our after school care staff members are more than just overseers. They’re mentors, educators, and facilitators who bring structure and purpose to each afternoon. Every part of our program is built around thoughtful child supervision, which allows kids to explore, learn, and grow in a safe and encouraging setting.
We follow a structured schedule that blends academic support with enrichment. Homework help is available daily, with quiet spaces and staff guidance to ensure children stay on track academically. Parents can rest easy knowing their child’s assignments are being completed with care and support — freeing up more quality family time at home.
But supervision at La Mère Academy doesn’t end at homework. We also oversee a rotating menu of themed activities, from STEM challenges to cultural celebrations, fitness fun, and music workshops. These programs are planned and led by staff who understand developmental stages and know how to keep children both safe and stimulated. We pride ourselves on offering age-appropriate challenges that stretch young minds and spark creativity.
Every interaction is intentional, every transition is smooth, and every moment is supervised with the goal of nurturing responsibility, independence, and joy.
A Program Designed Around Parents, Too
We know that after school care isn’t just about what happens between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. — it’s about how those hours support your whole family’s routine. That’s why our program is designed with working parents in mind. We offer flexible scheduling, reliable pickup protocols, and real-time communication that keeps you informed and reassured.
Our digital check-in system ensures that you know exactly when your child has arrived safely at our academy, and our parent portal allows you to stay updated on everything from behavior reports to snack menus and activity calendars. Have a question or need to update your pickup person? Our staff is just a phone call or app message away.
We also host regular family events that bring our community together, offering parents a chance to meet staff, interact with other families, and see the positive environment their child is part of. This level of transparency and involvement helps build trust — and it’s one of the reasons La Mère Academy is a top choice for after school programs in Leander.
We’re not just offering childcare. We’re offering peace of mind, partnership, and a place where your child feels known and valued every single day.
The La Mère Difference: More Than Just After School
What truly sets La Mère Academy apart is our commitment to turning after school hours into some of the most enriching and enjoyable parts of your child’s day. We see after school care not as an obligation but as an opportunity — a time when children can explore passions, develop new interests, and build relationships outside of the traditional classroom structure.
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that every child is unique and deserves a nurturing environment where their talents can blossom. That’s why we customize our activities to reflect a wide variety of interests and learning styles. One child may find joy in our hands-on science corner, while another may discover confidence in our performing arts mini-stage. Still others thrive through sports, gardening, or reading clubs — all of which are supported by caring adults who celebrate each child’s journey.
And when the time comes for pickup, parents tell us again and again how happy their children are to be here — often reluctant to leave because they’re so engaged in what they’re doing. That’s the La Mère difference. We create a space where children feel safe, supported, and excited about coming back tomorrow.
