Learn, Grow, and Thrive with the Y

The Y is proud to partner with the Highline School District to provide high-quality, active learning opportunities designed to engage and expand young minds. Through our Before and After-School Enrichment (BASE) program, we provide a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids can participate in sports, arts, STEM, and other hands-on learning activities. 

Before and After-School Enrichment Registration

BASE is a school year program that typically runs from September through June. Programs are flexible to meet your needs! Families may choose from programs before school, after school, or both and from one to five days per week.

2023-24 School Year

Online registration reopens on Monday, November 6 at 6:00 am. Please click the button on your chosen location below to complete registration. Once your online registration is complete, our team will contact you within one business day to provide the next steps toward completing your child's enrollment and anticipated program start date.  

The enrollment process, including filling out electronic paperwork and providing immunization records, will take at least nine days from online registration to your start date.  Not all days or times of care may be available, so please check back here to see if space becomes available.

Non-School Days and Breaks

We offer full-day programs from 7:30 am - 5:30 pm during winter, mid-winter, and spring breaks and some other non-school days for an additional fee. These programs are just for families currently enrolled in BASE. Learn more and register here.

2023-24 School Year Fees per Week

Fees are reflective of the hours that kids are in BASE, may vary by district and school, and may be adjusted once school schedules and bell times are finalized by the school district. Upon registration, you will be charged a $75 registration fee. Weekly payments will begin on the Saturday before care.

Receive a 10% discount if you enroll in full-time care from Monday-Friday in the morning and afternoon.
