The BASE program (Before and After School Experience) is planned in response to the developmental needs of the children served. The BASE Program uses the block of time in which children would ordinarily be at home, the program strives for more characteristics of home than school. The key to a successful program is to provide a recreational, safe, flexible, and enriched curriculum with age-appropriate activities to meet the developmental needs of the children and support to the family. The BASE program responds to a child’s need to be responsible, independent, and a contributor to the group and emphasize and promote a positive self-concept in each child.

At BASE we feel communication between staff and parents is key to ensure that any insights, concerns, or highlights are shared. Your Base Site Leader will be your main contact person for schedule changes, if someone new will be picking up your child(ren), or if you have any questions or concerns.
