Ossd Braintree After School Program

I write this with such a heavy yet grateful heart. Today is my daughter’s last day at BASE. I am both devastated and proud. BASE truly is the best child care center I’ve ever sent my child too. My daughter is my 4th child and I WISH I found BASE for my older children. BASE is unique in every sense of the word. Caring, educational, fun, stimulating, nurturing. I don’t have enough positive things to say about this place. The ONLY negative thing is they don’t take kids AT BIRTH lol !!! In our time there, our daughter evolved so much. She went from timid to talkative, nervous to adventurous, cautious to brave. We pick her up at the end of the day and she’s so happy (barely wants to come home actually lol). We are soooooooo proud of all the progress she’s made. She is ready for the next phase in life. To BASE leadership and teachers, thank you. I dropped my daughter off each day with no worries. I’ve never trusted anyone with my child more than you all. Ms. Sussi, you are truly a gem. For those in the south shore looking for child care, look no further. This is really the place for children. Best of luck.

We absolutely LOVE BASE! I am the current mom of a 3 year old preschool student at base as well as a 7 year old second grader who attends base summer camp. Both the parents and the kids love it! When my older daughter's preschool, that we loved, closed due to covid, we were concerned about finding a good fit for our youngest. She had been out of a school/daycare setting for well over a year and we were looking for somewhere she could socialize safely and learn. Additionally, we wanted an actual school curriculum (not a daycare program), but with the flexibility in schedule for a two working parent household. After asking around, it was obvious we had to check out BASE, and we are so glad we did. Our daughter has thrived socially, emotionally, and academically since joining preschool 1 at BASE this past August. She has made so many great friends, loves the teachers, and has developed so much in just the past 7 months. The teachers are great about sharing the curriculum, and provide lots of updates/photos throughout the week. They even coordinate with local businesses to offer extracurriculars during the day, which is so great for this busy mom. We love the gymnastics they offer at a local gym as well as the onsite dance classes. The students get tons of hands on learning in the classroom combined with a ton of fun. Additionally, I love the big fenced in yard they have for lots of outdoor time. Whether it's water play in the summer, or sledding in the winter, the kids are always getting outside which is great, in general, but especially during covid times. Even this past winter with the widespread spike of covid, we never had an issue. BASE did everything to keep our children safe, from wearing masks, to sterilizing, etc. We couldn't be happier with this program! My older daughter, currently in second grade, attended BASE summer camp last year and also loved it. It was a great combination of outdoor play, fun in class activities/crafts, as well as some really awesome field trips. We are already happily enrolled for the upcoming summer and can't wait to see what the teachers have planned! There is a lot to think about when picking the right school for your child, but I really think BASE is a great option for those looking for a welcoming school that really helps your child grow in all aspects of learning. Everyone from the directors, office staff, teachers, and families we've met have been nothing but supportive, kind, and willing to help. We feel very lucky to have a local option that fits all of our needs!

If I could give BASE 10 stars, I would. During the hybrid Covid year, my daughter got the last spot in the full-day private K class. Not only did she leave Kindergarten fully reading but she absolutely adored every single teacher at BASE. This year, my daughter is still doing the before/after school care, while my younger son is in one of the preschool classes. This is his first year with BASE. He went from crying every morning at drop off at his old school to having ZERO issues with drop offs since he started at BASE. Every Monday my son takes a piano class, offered by BASE. On Wednesday's he does a gymnastics class and a Muay Thai class that he loves. BASE has so many wonderful opportunities. Not just during the school year- over the summer they run as a full camp with activities and field trips!! The staff are all wonderful, everyone is so friendly. When I walk in to pick up I am always greeted with smiles from everyone. Thank you for all you do BASE! Keep it up!

We have 2 boys that both attended BASE for many years - from preschool all through elementary school summer camp. From the first day, this place and the teachers were fantastic. We don't even live in Braintree but were still more than happy to drive out of our way to bring our kids here daily. The demand for BASE enrollment is always very high so, it's critical to keep close tabs on enrollment deadlines and lottery placement etc. Over the years we consider ourselves lucky to have found this place and the wonderful, loving, caring people that make BASE what it is. I recommend BASE regularly to other parents on the south shore. Even after our kids don't attend anymore, we remain friends with both families and staff we met there. If anyone at BASE reads this, thank you for helping raise our boys! They are smarter, better, brighter, and more caring people because of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I honestly don't know how anyone could not give BASE 5-stars. The program is absolutely amazing, they assist in bringing the children to activities like gymnastics or piano lessons during the day. The teachers are WONDERFUL as is the admin staff. They have accommodated us tremendously with both our boys. Literally couldn't recommend BASE more.
