HomeBASE:  Out of School Care Covering all of Your Bases

HomeBASE: an innovative out-of-school-time program that combines afterschool childcare and enrichment programs for children from Kindergarten through 4th grade. HomeBASE offers integrated programming based on modern values, teaching children to care for themselves, each other, and the world around them. Our staff provides a safe and fun-filled environment where children can always feel like they are at home. HomeBASE provides a warm, caring environment beyond school hours where your children have the opportunity to play with friends and get homework out of the way before your family sits down to dinner. Children can attend two to five days per week. Programs are organized by grade level.  

Our curriculum is based on a program model that focuses on learning enhancement, health, and recreation, while also building competence and confidence in children.  HomeBASE gives all children the opportunity to form long-lasting friendships that enhance their development, growth, and self-confidence.

Highlights of Our Flexible, All-Inclusive Program:

• For PSB Kindergarten Students:  We will pick-up your kids at school! Transportation provided (chaperoned walk) from Lawrence, Pierce, or Devotion Schools. 
• High quality staff who take a holistic approach to understanding your child

Our Mission:

HomeBASE is committed to providing enriching, educational, and recreational activities, guiding children toward positive interactions while respecting the rights and needs of each child. Operated by an exceptionally well-trained staff, HomeBASE provides high quality care, featuring flexibility for families, and abundant choice. Through a balanced mix of activities, HomeBASE utilizes our facility and neighborhood to their full potential.  HomeBASE supports Temple Ohabei Shalom’s philosophy of promoting lifelong learning while building and enhancing the Brookline community.

Philosophy:

Research has shown that the time between the end of the school day and the time a child goes to sleep have a significant impact on a child’s cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development.  We embrace a holistic approach to out-of-school care, providing guidance and support for each child’s individual needs during this critical time. Children will feel supported exploring their interests in a relaxed social setting. We encourage children to develop their sense of independence and awareness as we intentionally guide them towards growing healthy self-esteem.
