Now Open: Enrollment for RMES's YMCA Before and After School Program (BASP)
Some info about BASP:
- AM care begins at 7am (we dismiss the kids when it's time to go to school)
- PM care runs until 6pm
- Preferential pricing is given to YMCA members (it is recommended to open a youth membership, as you will actually save money in the long run) but the program is open to all
- We focus on our 9 core components: academic enrichment, college and career exploration, 21st century skills, service learning, arts education, leadership development, health and wellness, global learning, and parent and family engagement.
- Within that framework, families can expect their child(ren) to receive help on homework, complete fun art projects, science experiences, play active games and sports, and make lasting and impactful relationships with their peers and counselors
