Nixa Community Foundation Awards Grant to Safe BASE

Safe BASE Afterschool Programs were recently awarded a grant to purchase 5 pairs of Motorola radios. These two-way radios will add to the safety level of our programs. These radios will increase the ability to monitor outside activity when the children are on the playground and assist in the drop-off and pick-up process. These radios also have NOA alerts for severe weather. Safe Base would like to thank the Nixa Community Foundation for their support of Safe BASE and the children of Nixa!

 

 

 


Welcome

We are offering the opportunity for you to meet our staff prior to your enrollment in Safe BASE on the Staff page. The Parents page offers a brief overview of our hours of operation and tuition schedule. The Youth pages offers links for the children that are both fun and educational!

Safe BASE Afterschool Programs provide a safe, caring and nurturing place for extended learning, social, recreational, and personal life skills development for students during non-school hours. Safe BASE extends, expands and enriches the opportunities for experiential learning, social development and recreation. It incorporates a strong partnership of school, family, and community members that collaboratively contribute to the growth of students as they mature into caring, competent and responsible adults.

An integral part of our curriculum is the Navigate program. It is a holistic approach in teaching social skills to children. Part of the program includes teacher directed lessons; at other times it will be “in the moment”. We will be using nationally recognized curriculum such as Don’t Laugh at Me, Adventures in Peacemaking, and the Bully Free Classroom, as well as the Nixa School District’s Character Plus! program. Our guiding principle is helping children Navigate through life!
