Before and after school care (Basc)
BASC is available to those families with children who are accepted to Beautiful Saviour Lutheran School. Subject to availability, families are able to use the facility on a casual, part or full-time basis. The program is located in the lower level of BSLS, which is accessible by entering through the north entrance and staircase. Operating hours are from 7:00-8:30 a.m. and 3:20-5:30 p.m.
A parent/caregiver must enter the school with their child(ren) and sign them into BASC. Inside, we ask that everyone remove outdoor footwear or use the shoe covers that are provided. You are required to sign your child into the program when you arrive. Staff will mark your child(s) arrival time on a master list. Guided activities like painting, crafts and board games are offered when the centre opens. Children are able to bring a breakfast or a snack from home and eat it before they get ready for school at 8:25 a.m.
For more information on what a typical before school care day looks like for your child, please see page 16 of the Childcare Programs Parent Handbook.
Kindergarten children will be picked up from their classroom and walked down to the program by an assigned staff member and signed in. Children from grades 1-8 will be expected to make their way downstairs with everything that will be going home. If a student has not signed in by 3:30pm and no notifications have been provided, a staff member will call the office to see if a message has been left. If there has been no parent communication, the student will be paged over the intercom. If the student does not reply to the page, the ASC staff member will be in contact with a parent/caregiver. Students are given time to have a snack, complete homework, relax or engage in guided activities. The students enjoy going outside (weather permitting) or using the school gymnasium (when available).

We offer care for children on all BSLS in-service days from 7:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
In-service rates are: $20.80 (full day) and $10.90 (4 hours or less). Families who do not usually have their child in BASC on the day of the week that the in-service is scheduled will be invoiced for the amount noted above. For children who are regularly scheduled to come on the day of the week that the in-service is scheduled, regular BASC fees are applied against full day rates.
