2025-26 Registration

BASE registration for the 2025-26 school year will open in early spring, around the end of February – beginning of March. If you have questions about the program, please reach out to the office using the contact info above. 

No early entries will be accepted for enrollment. A $60 non-refundable enrollment fee will be charged when accepted onto the roster (no payment required for waitlist). If you already paid this for the Summer 2025 registration, you will not have to pay the enrollment fee twice.

Why us?

  • Lovely Lane’s Before & After School Enrichment is a state licensed, non-profit program administered by a director and volunteer advisory board.  Our staff provides a safe and enriching environment for Kindergarten through 5th grade students who attend Pierce Elementary School.
  • Our location – we are located right next door to Pierce Elementary which provides us the opportunity to escort students safely to and from school during the day.  It is also convenient for picking up and dropping off students.
  • We provide a hot breakfast daily before school and snacks after school while staying allergen free based on which food allergies the kids have. 
  • Enrichment activities such as special crafts or yoga, are offered in the afternoons and special activities like storytelling or movies are offered on early dismissals or no school days.
  • We provide daycare on in-service and snow days, days during Thanksgiving and Spring Break, and the summer months.
  • We hire staff that love to interact with children.  All staff members have been fingerprinted and background checked.  Our staff is trained in CPR and First Aid.  All staff participate in professional growth opportunities.
  • We offer flexibility.  You can choose to pay for before and after school; before only; after only; or drop-in (pay per use).
  • We have an outstanding reputation because of our many activities and the way we work with parents.
