LAMB offers a fun, bilingual, and engaging Before and After-School Enrichment (BASE) program for all Pre-K3 - 5th grade students. Our mission is to create exploration and enrichment spaces before and after school where students, families, and staff foster a sense of belonging for our LAMB community. The program offers extracurricular enrichment, allowing students to acquire new skills while supporting their social, emotional, cognitive, and academic development.  BASE is a lottery-based program that follows the same guidelines as My School DC for LAMB PCS.
