About Bowen After School Care Program in Newton, MA
Each afternoon at BASCP is broken up into three different grade groups. Each group has a variety of different choices to make when they arrive. These options include STEAM activities, games, crafts, time in the gym, and quiet time. We understand the need for physical activity, so when the weather permits, we go outside at least once an afternoon. BASCP offers an invaluable service to parents and children alike. Children in the program have the opportunity to spend time with their friends, continuing to learn while they play. It provides parents with dependability and care on early dismissal days, a sense of community for their children, and savings that come with not having to hire a nanny. With so many activities to choose from, BASCP is the perfect place for children to learn and grow.

K-1 Stars
Kindergartners and first graders meet in the room located just outside the BASCP office. Each day, the children arrive from their classrooms and have a snack. During that time, the children socialize with their friends and learn what choices are available for the afternoon. After snack, the children all go outside. That is followed by choice time in which students can choose from 3 different options; a teacher led activity, outdoors/gym, and Free Play. Choice time is followed by Lit Wits for the Kindergartners and Learning Lab for the 1st graders. Learning Lab is a quiet time where students are encouraged to work on any assigned tasks from their school day or engage with others in activities that build cognitive development and social emotional learning.
