Dear Parents,

Our program, which runs from 7:00 - 8:00a.m. and 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. Monday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday and from 2:00 – 6:00pm on Tuesdays, provides a safe and fun environment for students before and after regular school hours. Regularly scheduled and drop-in care is available throughout the school year excluding major holidays and vacation breaks. Parents with children taking piano or CYO basketball/volleyball practice are encouraged to use BASC.

Our program features organized games and outdoor recreation, crafts, free play, time for completing homework, movies, science exploration, drama, and special treats. These are just a few of the things that keep everyone in BASC busy and entertained. It also allows your child time to socialize with classmates that attend after-school care (an added bonus according to our kids!). Our staff is committed to keeping all of our children safe and involved.

Many St. Clare families have taken advantage of our program in the past, but I encourage anyone who has not used our service to stop by and visit. The daycare is located at the end of the middle school hallway. I am available Monday-Friday from 7-8am and 2-6pm.

The school keeps the BASC program an option for parents in hopes that this helps out with their commitment to Catholic education at St. Clare School. It’s a service we gladly provide. We look forward to seeing many returning and "new" faces to our program!

Sincerely,

Christina Reilly

BASC Director
