B.A.S.E. Daycare Program

East Hill Elementary School

The B.A.S.E. (Before and After School Enriched Daycare) program complements the educational services provided by the school and are primarily focused on recreational activities.

Our dedicated team of daycare educators welcome students daily before and after school. They provide a wide range of stimulating activities. Cooperative sports, yoga, a tad of baking, science and creative arts are what afternoons look like at East Hill.

Fee Structure

The Daycare fee structure is based on the student’s status in the daycare. A student’s status is designated as Regular, Sporadic or Occasional.

Regular: (For a maximum of five hours)	$9.50/day
Pedagogical Day: (For a total of 10 hours. Additional activity fees may apply)	$15.00/day
Sporadic + Occasional: (On regular school days)	Fees are based on the blocks the student attends, partial or full, and varies per school depending on the time of each daycare period.

A regular student is one who is registered and attending Daycare for a minimum of one to five days a week and a minimum of two periods a day. This applies to students who attend on a weekly basis and follow a fixed schedule.

A sporadic student is one who is registered and attending Daycare for one period a day (AM, LUNCH or PM). Please note that the lunch period is considered a block. A sporadic student is also someone who is registered and attends on a pedagogical day.

An occasional student is one who is registered but does not have a forecasted attendance and does not attend on a weekly basis. Daycare Services are needed for emergency purposes. The parent/guardian must give the daycare a 24-hour notice when possible and keep in mind that it is not a guarantee that their child(ren) will be put in the same daycare group as their classmates.
