Daycare options during the 4-10 summer schedule

In the Feb. 22 issue of Friday eNews, we announced the return of the 4-10 summer schedule. In that same edition, we asked central office employees in our weekly survey if they would take advantage of onsite childcare if it were offered during that eight-week period.

About half of those who office at the Hattie Mae White Educational Support Center (HMWESC) answered in the affirmative, so we looked into it. Unfortunately, no free childcare services are available, but the options we discovered are detailed below.

  • Waltrip Child Development Center (1900 W. 34th St., 77018)—Located less than three miles away from the HMWESC on the campus of Waltrip HS, this facility is directed by Francine Robinson. Daycare services will be available M–Th for five of the eight weeks (June 10–July 11) in the summer schedule. Hours are 6:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m. and the cost range is $140–165/week, depending on the age of the child. HISD employees receive a 10% discount. The facility serves babies as young as six-weeks-old and children up to age five. At press time, six spaces were still available, and they will be filled on a first-come/first-served basis. Call 713-688-1361 ext. 304 for details.
  • Foster Family YMCA (1234 W. 34th St., 77018)—Just a bit further east on W. 34th Street than Waltrip HS is this facility, which offers daycare for children ages 4–12 from June 10 until Aug. 23. Hours are 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. M–F and tuition ($125 or $155/week, depending on the membership selected) covers the cost of lunch, snacks, T-shirts, and field trips. Call 713-869-3378 or visit the facility in person for details.
