Before and Afterschool Enrichment
Care Program
Our Before and Afterschool Enrichment Care (BASE) program accommodates the wrap-around care needs of our families from 6:45-7:45am and from 3:30-6:00pm
Telra adopts the Let Grow Play Club approach to help kids build confidence, resilience, and self-reliance through independent play. We value risk-taking within safe limits, and during Play Club activities, staff supervise for safety only, not to lead or guide play. Kids solve disputes, negotiate their own rules, and invent their own games. Conflict resolution support only provided when truly necessary.
Benefits of Play Clubs... 1. Foster independent & cooperative play 2. Build social skills & cross-grade relationships 3. Promote responsibility and self-regulation 4. Encourage creativity & imagination 5. Develop problem-solving & conflict resolution skills 6. Support physical activity & wellness 7. Ease the morning transition 8. Reduce after-school stress & overscheduling 9. Support working families
