Summer Program

Since the need for quality programs does not end with the beginning of summer, ACNS offers a flexible four-week summer program for children 2 years and 9 months to 6 years. Summer program hours are from 9 am to 1 pm daily. Flexible childcare is available during the summer from 8 am to 9 am and from 1 pm to 5:30 pm. See our calendar in our brochure for specific dates for this program.

A relaxed, casual atmosphere provides the background for an enriching and stimulating program that focuses on creative outdoor activities. Summer fun includes arts & crafts, sand and nature exploration, and music and games of all kinds. Pre-registration is required. See the description of tuition and payment plans and Summer Registration.
