Before and After School Child Care on Location

What Before and After School Child Care on Location does

BASCOL (Before and After School Child Care on Location, Inc.) is a New York State-licensed, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1992 in Liverpool, New York, that provides before-school, after-school, school-holiday, and summer child care for children in grades K through 6. The organization operates on-location inside partner school facilities, with 15+ active sites across five school districts in Onondaga and Oswego Counties (Central Square, Liverpool, Lyncourt, Solvay, and West Genesee), plus a private school site at St. Mary's Academy in Baldwinsville. Programs include core before/after care (6:30 AM to school start; dismissal to 6:00 PM), the SHO Plus a la carte school-holidays-only program, and multi-week summer programs at designated host schools, supplemented by a Helping Hands Scholarship offering 50% tuition assistance to working families not eligible for DSS subsidies.

The business model is subscription-recurring parent tuition billed monthly, with rates varying by school district and schedule, supplemented by Department of Social Services subsidy passthroughs and donations (including United Way Campaign designations). There is no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on standard child-care administrative tooling, with Procare used for summer program billing and the bascol.org website for marketing, enrollment forms, and parent orientation content. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through school-district partnerships, word-of-mouth, community outreach, and inbound phone/email inquiries to a single administrative office at 4610 Wetzel Road, Liverpool, NY. BASCOL is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and led by Executive Director Chere Petrivelli; it has no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no outside equity investors.

Broad incumbents

• KinderCare Learning Companies: Largest US private early childhood education provider offering before/after school care, preschool, and summer programs at owned and operated centers. Comparable to BASCOL in service mix but operates proprietary centers rather than co-located school sites and serves a broader age range.
• Learning Care Group: Operator of multiple commercial child care brands (Childtime, Tutor Time, La Petite Academy, Montessori Unlimited) offering before/after school and full-day care. Comparable to BASCOL in school-age before/after care offering but as a large commercial multi-brand incumbent.
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: Large publicly-traded child care and early education provider operating centers nationwide including before/after school programs. Comparable to BASCOL in core service (before/after school care) but as a broader incumbent with employer-sponsored care, tuition-based model, and proprietary facilities rather than school co-location.

Emerging players

• Wonderschool: Technology platform enabling home-based and small-center child care providers with online enrollment, billing, and parent matching. Partially comparable to BASCOL in serving the child care market but as an emerging digital-first platform rather than a co-located school-based operator.

Direct peers

Comparable to BASCOL in nonprofit structure, K-6 age focus, and curriculum-led enrichment rather than custodial care.

Closely comparable to BASCOL in mission (youth development), nonprofit structure, school-age focus, and fee-based plus subsidized access model.
• YMCA of the USA: National nonprofit operating before/after school child care programs co-located in schools and Y facilities, serving K-6 children with curriculum-based enrichment. Directly comparable to BASCOL in target customer (working families), service mix (before/after/summer care), and nonprofit community-based delivery.
