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!

» ANS Summer Program

The six week Summer program is a fun and relaxed way for your child to enjoy July and August at ANS. The program is open to children ages 2.9 to 6 years old, and is full of great activities. The curriculum includes arts and crafts, field trips, science projects, storytelling and more in a comfortable air-conditioned space. We have swimming time two days a week, but only children age 3 and up are permitted to attend on those days due to YMCA pool regulations.

Registration is open to current ANS families first (including those who have accepted a spot for the following September), then to alumni families, 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 (minimum of two per week), and then pick the weeks that work for you. As in previous years, there is no parent involvement required.

Please check back in February or March for more information.
