The five-week Summer Playground program offers arts and crafts, playground fun, organized games, field trips and other activities Monday - Friday at the Chickering School. This program is great for kids entering Kindergarten in the fall because they have the chance to meet new friends and become familiar with the school. The older kids also love this program because they are able to enjoy fun, quality time with their friends! Whether your child is entering Kindergarten or 6th grade, they will have the opportunity to meet new friends, be a part of fun activities and games, and develop their imagination through the importance of free play time. The hours are from 9 am-12 pm. Registration Form
