Tarrant County Kids, a service of Girls Inc. of Tarrant County
 AFTERSCHOOL CHILDCARE PROGRAMGirls Inc. offers licensed, quality afterschool childcare for girls and boys in grades K-6 at nine elementary school locations in the Arlington Independent School District (AISD). Each of our programs provides educational and fun enrichment activities offering youth the opportunity to have fun, challenging and educational experiences. Learning and fun go hand-in-hand and help give our parents "peace of mind" - knowing that their children are safe and having a good time. During the program, children are served a nutritious snack, assisted with their homework and offered a wide variety of activities to choose from to make their afternoons enjoyable and educational. Children participate in challenging and educational activities including daily study time and tutoring, arts and crafts, sports and recreation, hands-on activities, substance abuse prevention education, and Girls Incorporated curriculum programs.
