• Our 7 week program is open to current students as well as any children already 2.9 during the summer who will be entering our program in the fall. We also welcome children from other programs that do not have a summer option meeting the needs of families.

• Our regular staff members are teaching the classes. The teachers of each class will be planning special activities for that group over the course of the summer. You will receive this information on your child’s first day of camp.

• Summer is a time for being outdoors on our spacious and shaded playground for a large part of the morning. Water play of many kinds, nature activities and outdoor art on a grand scale will be part of the fun.

• Teachers plan interesting projects around themes for indoor time each week. In addition, a special guest will be visiting every Wednesday to give a demonstration on a special topic and facilitate fun activities!

• Here’s an incentive: if you have older children – public schools will still be in session during at least Week #1 of our program.

• The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) is the licensing authority by which Framingham Centre Nursery School and its Summer Extension Program are regulated.
