Brackett After School

The waitlist to get into BASP is long (it took us two years), but it’s worth it. Onsite for kids at Brackett. Divided into groups by grade: K/​1 are together, then the 2^nd graders have their own room, then 3^rd-​5^th. The teachers are wonderful. Kind, energetic, enthusiastic. It’s incredibly organized. The woman who runs it is always available. With 3 different classrooms and 2 different outdoor play areas, everyone always knows where everyone is. I’ve never seen or heard of any incidents of bullying or trouble — all the kids seem to have a great time.
Things I’ve seen my kids doing when I come to pick them up:
1. making apple crisp or other baking projects
2. making their own board games (with other kids and teachers)
3. playing board games they invented themselves
4. blocks, construction games
5. drawing, art activities
6. reading
7. doing homework (!) — voluntarily
8. outdoor play, structured (kick ball, basketball) and unstructured.
9. talking and joking with other kids.
