Kids’ B.A.S.E. & The Little School is a not-for-profit community organization which began in 1982 as a school based service to working parents & their children. It is the goal of Kids’ B.A.S.E. to provide safe affordable quality and reliable before & after-school child care.

The philosophy of The Little School is to establish an environment where self-confidence and self-expression are encouraged as is responsibility decision-making and respect for others.

Our home-like environment relies on exposure to broad-based early childhood curriculum. All activities are age appropriate and appeal to many personalities.

Classrooms reflect the philosophy of the school. Children’s work is prominently displayed; the rooms are comfortable informal well organized and rich in materials. Teachers and children work together to establish an environment of cooperation mutual respect and are encouraged to use proper manners.

Children are expected to share responsibilities for the classroom life such as doing housekeeping and classroom management jobs. At the daily class meetings children learn to exchange ideas and to listen to one another. They are helped to see the necessity of rules for cooperative living. The classroom is itself a community a microcosm of the larger society.
