Registration for the Preschool Summer Program has moved to a waitlist. If you are interested in a spot this summer, you are encouraged to complete the waitlist registration. You will not be charged until you are offered a spot (and accept). 

Welcome to the 2020 Preschool Summer Program for ages 2.9 to 5 years

• The DCH Preschool Summer Program is a continuation of our school year program with an emphasis placed on outside play experiences. Water play, gross motor activities and walks on our beautiful riverside grounds occur daily, and children have the chance to interact with their peers in developmentally appropriate classroom settings.

• The Preschool-aged Program serves children 2.9 to 5 years. Children must be 2.9 years old by 6/22/20.

• Children do not need to attend the DCH Preschool during the regular school year in order to participate in the summer program.

• The summer program runs for 8 weeks from late June to mid-August.

• Children must attend five days per week, full or half-day options are available.

• Children attending the preschool, who have also registered for swim lessons through the Dedham Community House, will be walked over to the DCH Pool for their lessons by DCH Preschool staff. 

• There are a limited number of swim lesson spots. It is recommended you register ASAP if interested in lessons. To register for lessons, when you get to the Event Registration Summary page click "Register for Another Event" and you will be able to add the lesson(s) you want.

• Financial aid is available for tuition and registration fees. Please complete the online Financial Aid and registration form. Paper financial aid and registration forms can also be found on the DCH website (or CLICK HERE) and are available in the DCH Main Office.
