Boston's kids directory · Free for families · Updated weekly
No more last-minute scrambles. GOkidOZ has your family covered from September through August.
School starts in weeks — the best fall spots fill in August and September. Weekly classes and tutoring that fit around the school day.
Full-day and half-day programs during October, February, and April breaks. Learning doesn't stop.
Multi-week enrichment camps through June, July, and August. Academic + creative + fun.
GOkidOZ exists because Greater Boston is genuinely overwhelming for families. Hundreds of after-school programs scattered across twenty towns — most with outdated websites, no parent reviews, and registration deadlines nobody told you about. We built the guide we wished existed: every listing checked by a local parent, organized by town and age, updated weekly. Newton, Wellesley, Natick, Needham, Cambridge, Dedham and beyond — with real phone numbers and links that actually work.
— from one Boston family to yours
Boston parents and verified educators in one room — ask anything, swap recommendations, post events, pass on outgrown gear. It's the part of GOkidOZ other parents write.
