About the Program

The purpose of the Before, After School and Summer Enrichment (BASE) Programs is to provide safe, quality, affordable child care in the school setting: whereby each individual child is enriched with various experiences conducive to their academic, social, and physical development. These self supporting programs are offered to any child enrolled in an Adams 12 Five Star Elementary School. Here at Hulstrom we offer BASE to students in grades K-8th  (5 years old to 15 years old).  Our BASE program has also been designed with the unique style of Hulstrom in mind.

Afternoon BASE Groups

In afternoon BASE we average between 90-110 students.  To help keep the program as individualized and personable as possible we operate in 5 groups.   Each of these groups have staff members that work with them for 3-4 months at a time and plan activities based off of the groups age and interests.
