Child Care


The Black Diamond Community Center offers licensed childcare year-round for low fees at the Black Diamond Elementary School. Our program is unique because it integrates a variety of educational activities such as reading sessions, science projects, library trips, and fun crafts.

The BASK program is located at the Black Diamond Elementary School. We have our own cozy little portable with lots of space for different activities. Our portable is conveniently located next to the playground and the multi-purpose room.

During the school year, our program operates before and after school, as well as on early dismissal days and full-day holidays. Our morning session begins at 6am and ends at 8:30am when breakfast is served at the school. Our afternoon session begins at 3pm, after school is let out and ends at 6:30pm. Early dismissal days begin at noon and continue until 6:30pm. On holidays we offer full day care, beginning at 6am and ending at 6:30pm.

We have a variety of rates; depending on both the time spent at the program each day, and whether or not the family has a free or reduced lunch certificate. As far as time is concerned, we charge for three blocks of time - three hours (before or after school schedule), six hours (half day), and twelve hours (full day) per child. Normal rates are as follows - $8.25 for three hours, $13.50 for six hours, and $26 for the full day. Free and reduced rates are substantially lower, and there are discounts for additional children in those families. Since our program is licensed, we can accept DSHS payments.

Children must complete registration packets prior to participation in this program. For more information, registration packets, and billing questions, call BDCC at 360-886-1011.
