Welcome to the OSSD After School Program!

The After School Program has a simple mission: keeping kids safe, inspiring them to learn, and giving parents peace of mind.

We strive to help children learn, grow, and reach their full potential, with new learning opportunities that help them do better in school and in life. Offering a safe space to extend the academic, social, and emotional growth that occurs during the school day, students participate in engaging structured activities, collaborative learning opportunities, and most important: play.

Included in the many activities enjoyed by students in the program are art and exploration projects sponsored by the Arts Bus. The Arts Bus comes to the Braintree program on Wednesdays, and the Brookfield program on Thursdays.
