All Changes to your child's schedule are due by the Monday of the previous week.
The goal of Summerfest is to provide a valuable service to the parents of children in the Chelmsford area. The staff will make every effort to provide a safe and harmonious environment in which your child can make age appropriate choices that lead to sound social, emotional, and physical development.
Summerfest 2019 is designed around choices! The children will be able to pick which areas they would like to play and explore during rotation periods to allow for an opportunity to play with neighbors or friends who are close in age. Children may have choices adjusted by staff if they are having trouble demonstrating positive behavior. Our goal is to allow the children more time to do the things they really love, while still offering a variety of choices.
Our program will tentatively be located in the Chelmsford Community Education Building, 170 Dalton Road 01824 Chelmsford, MA. (We will have a decision by mid-April). Summerfest provides recreational activities, arts and crafts, IPads, movies, field trips and always a super surprise or two.
Sprinklers will provide refreshing play on hot days. The staff consists of certified teachers, educational support personnel, nurses, college and high school students - the majority of whom cared for the children during our Extended Day Program.
**Allergy Snack Form Will Be Available At A Later Date**
