Our son began ANS while under 3 yrs. of age - we are delighted to be able to send him for 3 years now. ANS is one of our favorite things about Dorchester- truly! A real hidden gem!

The Summer program is a fun and relaxed way for your child to enjoy summer at ANS. The program is open to children ages 2.9 to 6 years old, and is full of great activities. There will be arts and crafts, filed trips, science projects, storytelling and more in a comfortable air-conditioned space. We will have swimming time on Mondays and Thursdays, but only children age 3 and up are permitted to attend on those days due to YMCA pool regulations. The YMCA has offered us swim passes for our families for July and August, so all families will have access to thier pool.
Registration is open to current ANS families first, then to alums, and then to families in the community. It is offered on a first come, first served basis. There are 12 slots open each day. You can choose the number of days to attend, and then pick the weeks that work for you. You must stick to the same weekly schedule for all your weeks. As in previous years, there is no parent involvement required.
Please check back in early 2010 for more information.
