• About the Preschool Summer Program

  • **2023 Summer Program Registration begins Monday, March 20 at 9am**
  • 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 through Pre-K. Children entering Kindergarten in the fall, should enroll online for the DCH Summer Camp located at 671 High Street.
  • 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 with four 2-week sessions. Children must be registered for a consistent schedule throughout all weeks for which they are registered. The summer program offers two options: 5 full days or 5 half days.
