• 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 Summer Program serves children 15 months old to entering Kindergarten.

• 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 be registered for a consistent schedule throughout all weeks for which they are registered. There is no minimum week requirement for the summer program. 
  

• 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.
