Published 2026–27 School-Age Care Examples

These are displayed program-directory prices, not confirmed monthly membership prices or a universal fee for every school. Check the individual listing for the billing period, school and plan before registration.

What Parents Need for Registration

• Child’s school and grade
• School-year program or care schedule
• Emergency contacts
• Health and immunization records
• Authorized pickup information
• Preferred payment method
• Relevant medical, allergy and accommodation details

How to Register

1. Open the YMCA Childcare program directory.

3. Select the available three-day or five-day program, if offered.
4. Review its exact dates, billing interval and cancellation rules.
5. Complete required child and guardian details.
6. Upload or provide the required medical and school forms.

Billing changes and cancellation requests are handled through the childcare administration process rather than exclusively through staff at the school site.

Youth Sports, Camps & Teen Activities

The City of Benbrook identifies the community center/YMCA as an administrator of local recreational programs such as basketball, aerobics, tumbling, flag football and youth soccer.

Seasonal offerings, age categories and sports locations can change, so check the current program rather than relying on an older sports calendar.

Benbrook Baseball & Softball Distinction

The City lists youth baseball and softball as programs administered by the separate Benbrook Youth Baseball/Softball Association, not by the YMCA. This matters when looking for registration, team schedules or league contacts.

For current YMCA sports and youth programs, use the official YMCA program directory.

Birthday Parties, Pool Parties & Group Rentals

YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth offers birthday parties and special-event arrangements at participating facilities, including pool-party experiences where approved.

City of Benbrook & YMCA Partnership

Benbrook Community Center YMCA is a partnership facility rather than a recreation center staffed directly by the City Parks Department.

Historical City documentation describes the management arrangement as follows:

The City reports that the Benbrook Community Center/YMCA officially opened in June 2000. The facility relationship dates to a management agreement initiated in 1999.

For a swimming class, membership issue, sports registration or guest admission, contact the YMCA first. For broader City parks services, contact the appropriate municipal department.
