Launch Into Learning Afterschool Program

MCM is excited to offer Launch into Learning, a fun and enriching afterschool program for a limited number of children in PreK4–5th grade during the 2026–2027 school year. This program provides a safe, supportive space for children to learn, play, and explore after school.

We’re actively planning for the 2026–2027 school year, so please check back for updates.

During the 2025–2026 school year, we proudly served 100 students from McWillie Elementary, Casey Elementary, and Bailey APAC.

If your child’s school is not currently included, we’d love to hear from you! When at least five children from the same school are interested, we’re happy to begin conversations about adding that school and transportation to our program.

Registration opens Monday, May 4 at 10:00am
