Abstract: A classical theorem of Kuratowski says that every Baire one function on a G_delta subspace of a Polish (= separable completely metrizable) space X can be extended to a Baire one function on X. Kechris and Louveau introduced a finer gradation of Baire one functions into small Baire classes. A Baire one function f is assigned into a class in this heirarchy depending on its oscillation index �eta(f). We prove a refinement of Kuratowski's theorem: if Y is a subspace of a metric space X and f is a real-valued function on Y such that �eta_{Y}(f)<omega^{alpha}, alpha < omega_1, then f has an extension F onto X so that �eta_X(F)is not more than omega^{alpha}. We also show that if f is a continuous real valued function on Y, then f has an extension F onto X so that �eta_{X}(F)is not more than 3. An example is constructed to show that this result is optimal.
