Get ready for your new Before and After-School Enrichment (BASE) registration experience!
The YMCA of Greater Seattle is launching a new Registration and Customer Relationship Management system in 2024. This new system will allow us to provide you with a more holistic online experience by consolidating your YMCA accounts into one place by year end — including registrations for programs like Before and After-School Enrichment, swim lessons, and day camp, your electronic forms and waivers, and your YMCA membership.
As a Before and After-School Enrichment (BASE) participant, you’ll be the first to access the new system when registering for care in the 2024-25 school year!
Please note that your 2023-24 BASE registration, YMCA membership, and any other registrations (including for 2024 day camp) will remain in our original Active Network and ePACT systems until later this year.
This page contains step-by-step instructions for creating a new account, registering for BASE, and applying and receiving financial assistance. Click a quick link below to jump to the information you need.
Before you get started, we recommend disabling any pop-up blockers.
Some account information for current BASE and Early Education participants as well as YMCA members will transfer over from Active Network.
Complete the following steps to create your new YMCA account. Current BASE and Early Education participants and active YMCA members should use the same primary email address as used for your Active Network account.
Verifying the primary account holder's information is current and complete will help ensure a smoother process on registration day.
If you are a current BASE or Early Education participant or active YMCA member, please confirm your household members. Before registering for programs, dependents must be listed as members of your household.
Before registering for programs as a new participant, you must add dependents as members of your household.
Adding a payment method (electronic funds transfer from a bank account or credit card charge) now will save time on registration day.
Registration for the 2024-25 Before and After-School Enrichment full-time programs opens in April as follows:
Be sure to confirm you can log in and your account details are current so you can go straight to this step when programs open.
A variety of enrollment options available at your chosen school will populate the window.
A window with all household members will appear, but only those that are age-eligible can be selected.
A 30-minute timer will appear in the upper right-hand corner below the cart. At this point, your spot in the program is reserved as long as the timer does not expire. You will have an opportunity to extend the timer if you need additional time.
All waivers must be completed before the first day of your program(s).
A coupon code is required to apply your financial assistance or subsidy.
A registration fee is required at the time of enrollment to confirm your spot.
Setting up a payment method for the future is required to complete your enrollment.
This step is REQUIRED for all participants including those with financial aid or subsidy to ensure that your spot is saved for future months.

Yes! In our new registration system, priority qualifications for currently enrolled participants or YMCA members are attached to the household account rather than an individual, so any contact who is part of a household will be able to register in their designated priority window.
For example, if you have an incoming kindergartener who is a younger sibling of a currently enrolled BASE participant, and they are a contact on your household account, both kid will be able to sign up during the first registration window on April 4 at 6:00 am.
