Before/After School Care

Hamilton Area YMCA’s BASE

The Hamilton Area YMCA’s BASE (Before and After School Enrichment) Programs serves over 400 working families, providing a safe, fun and supervised environment for children during the before and after school hours. We hire and train role models with a genuine love for children and a vested interest in making them healthier, more confident individuals.

 For 30+ years, Hamilton Township parents have relied on the Y to provide convenient, affordable before and after school care. But most of all, they enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing their children are growing and learning in a positive, fun environment.
