YMCA TOMORROW ACADEMY™ 

Coming Soon!

We are excited to announce our first YMCA Tomorrow Academy™ will open in 2025! The Schmetterling Foundation has helped make this milestone possible through a generous donation.

Tomorrow Academy addresses the community’s need for high-quality, affordable childcare in Greater Austin. As a provider of early childhood education, we are committed to youth development starting with the earliest learners.

Tomorrow Academy offers parents and caretakers peace of mind through a nurturing environment for children ages 6 weeks through 5 years where they can learn and thrive.

Curriculum

  • Our emergent curriculum is enriched with diverse experiences, including outdoor learning and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities. By incorporating nature exploration and hands-on STEAM projects, we encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. 
  • We prioritize the overall development of your child, nurturing their emotional, social, cognitive, and physical growth.  
  • Our educators build secure, trusting relationships with each child, creating a safe and supportive environment.  
  • A low student-teacher ratio will be maintained to ensure each child receives individual attention and support. The ratios are in line with state regulations and the National Association of Education of Young Children (NAEYC). 

Accreditation

  • Tomorrow Academy will be fully licensed by the state of Texas and will be accredited by the Texas Rising Star (TRS) within one year of opening. We adhere to all state regulations and standards for early childhood education.  
  • Our lead classroom teachers are highly qualified with degrees or certifications in early childhood education and extensive experience working with young children. 

Your Child’s Safety is Our Top Priority

  • Our facility will be equipped with secure entry systems, CCTV cameras, and child-proofed spaces.  
  • All staff undergo extensive background checks and regular safety training.  
  • All classroom teachers are trained in first aid and CPR. 
  • Daily safety checks in the classroom and playground will be completed by staff.  

Financial assistance

Affordability should never factor into whether a child has access to learning opportunities from the earliest age. That’s why we offer financial assistance to families who qualify, ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn and grow.
