Safe, reliable pickup from your child’s school right to our theatre doors.

Getting here after school isn’t always easy. We offer direct transportation from select schools in Buda, Kyle, and South Austin, using only our own trusted drivers. No third-party vans or mystery shuttles. Just a safe ride straight to Burchfield Theatre from your child’s school. Our drivers are background checked and CPR certified staff members of Burchfield Theatre.

How It Works

  • Available 2–5 days/week — you choose the days (e.g., M/W/F) on your fall enrollment registration.

  • Aug 25 – Dec 12 (no service Thanksgiving week; see calendar for details).

  • Billed in 4 equal monthly payments (Sept 1–Dec 1). Transportation is not a full pay service. It is subscription based.

  • A valid card on file is required before Sept 1.

Pricing (per child, based on 15‑week semester)

  • 2 days/week — $376 semester total → 4 monthly payments of $94

  • 3 days/week — $468 semester total → 4 monthly payments of $117

  • 4 days/week — $564 semester total → 4 monthly payments of $141

  • 5 days/week — $660 semester total → 4 monthly payments of $165

Closures & Full-Day Care Options

  • When school is closed and we can’t run transportation, afterschool classes still meet.

  • Transportation families may add All‑Day Care (7:30 AM–4:30 PM) on those dates at a discounted rate (regularly $75/day)

  • If you don’t add All-Day Care, you can email us to request a refund for any prepaid transportation days we couldn’t provide due to school closures

First Week & Route Setup

  • The first week helps us fine-tune timing and routines for each route

  • To confirm a transportation seat, complete enrollment in our fall programs and select the transportation when adding to your cart

  • Transportation seats must be confirmed by Wednesday, August 20th to begin service on Aug 25

  • Transportation is billed at the full semester rate, divided into four monthly payments (Sept 1–Dec 1)

  • Once your child’s seat is confirmed, it is reserved for the semester

Changes, Absences & Cancellations

  • Need to change pickup days or withdraw? Please give 3 weeks’ notice

  • Missed days due to student absence from school are not refunded

  • If we cannot provide transportation on a scheduled day due to a school closure and you do not opt for All-Day Care (which includes a discount for the missed transportation), we are happy to refund those days, just email us

  • Want to add transportation mid-semester? If space is available, we’re happy to accommodate. Please email us to set that up.

Transportation FAQ’s

  • No, because routes are planned based on confirmed registrations, we’re unable to offer trial rides and require a minimum commitment of one month to sign-up.

  • When you pay your program deposit, you’ll have the option to add transportation. On the registration form, indicate which school your child needs pick-up from (from our list above) and select your transportation days.

    We will then send an invoice to activate your transportation subscription and tuition plan from Square or Stripe. Using the card you provide, you’ll be billed 4 payments automatically on Sept 1, Oct 1, Nov 1 and Dec 1.

  • You can indicate interest on your registration form — we’ll follow up if there’s enough demand to add your school to a route.

  • Yes! You can choose 2, 3, 4, or 5 days per week. Your price will reflect the number of days you select.
