Have fun!!
Find their unique path to a life enriched with Jewish meaning
Build meaningful relationships with each other, our nurturing staff, the Temple Ohabei Shalom Community, and our amazing Coolidge Corner neighborhood
Strengthen connections to Jewish culture, history, and traditions, enriching every individual’s sense of belonging within the Jewish community
Participate in an engaging and immersive curriculum, including Hebrew, Shabbat, Holidays, Jewish texts and values, and more, that builds upon a child’s natural curiosity, emphasizes choice, and empowers children to be the masters of their own learning.

Our goal at ShalomBASE is to make Judaism fun, accessible, and a naturally integrated part of children’s lives. We will weave Hebrew, Jewish customs, and spirituality into all the things kids enjoy – art, music, sports, and more! After a rigorous day of academics at school, we strive to be a program of enrichment, not simply an extension of their school day; opportunities for movement and rest, as well as creativity and independent play, round out your child’s afternoon at ShalomBASE.

Our Mission: ShalomBASE is a vibrant, inclusive Jewish community afterschool program where children experience the joy of Judaism through engaging activities and meaningful relationships. The ShalomBASE curriculum fosters a sense of belonging and integrates Jewish culture, values, and traditions in a fun and nurturing environment, inspiring participants to explore together how Judaism can enrich our lives.

Our Vision: ShalomBASE empowers each child and family to explore their own Judaism, discovering their unique journey in values and traditions. With dedicated staff and a child-led environment, we strengthen our connection to Jewish identity, history, and culture, ensuring that every individual feels valued and embraced within our Temple Ohabei Shalom community.
