It is important to note that just being registered with the BASE program does not guarantee a spot is available in our before, after, or full day sessions. You must sign your child(ren) up for the days you need care through the School Care Works parent portal. Unfortunately, if your child(ren) are not signed up and we are capacity, we will not be able to provide care.
If you are needing drop in care, please contact the BASE program directly at (303) 519-9847 to see if there is availability. If you have any questions please contact John Ruf at jbruf@dcsdk12.org or Lisa Lewis at lmlewis@dcsdk12.org
