Some of you may have already noticed, but we want to officially introduce our two newest additions to the Fair Acres Farm – our two new goats!
Both goats are about 12 weeks old and are Nigerian Dwarf doelings (girls). They come from a farm in Westport, MA that raises goats for their dairy products, including milk, yogurt, and goat cheese! However, our two goats will be pets and will be good company for Amigo. Although they are small now, they still have a lot of growing to do, and predict they will end up being about 30-40 pounds.
The doelings have been settling in well and Amigo really seems to like hanging out with them already. So far, their favorite activity is to jump on anything and everything as well as go on walks around Fair Acres.
Molly (Jodi and Curt’s daughter) and her husband, Dan, take care of the farm, so if you see them around, please feel free to ask them any questions! You are welcome to visit the goats; however, we please ask to not feed the animals any treats, despite how convincing they may be!”

One of our favorite Fall activities at Fair Acres is apple picking! And, we couldn’t think of a better way to welcome the season than by gathering handfuls of delicious, crisp apples from our very own trees, right here on campus…how lucky are we?!
Stay tuned for a whole lot more Fall fun and friendships!

You will be greeted at the entrance of the Fair Acres driveway, where one of our staff members will check you in.
We will direct you to your designated drop off location.
You will be greeted at your drop off location by a counselor, who will assist your child with their belongings, answer any questions you have, and take them to their designated camp pod, where each camper will have a cubby for their belongings.
We are asking all parents to remain in their cars and to proceed in a timely manner.
If you are missing any camp forms or physicals, please bring them with you to drop off.

Pick-up is between 3:00-3:30. A staff member will be at the entrance of the drive-way to help guide you to the correct location.
At this time, your child will be ready and waiting at the same designated area they were dropped off at. They will have all of their belongings with them and ready to leave when you arrive.
Both of your child’s counselors will be available at pick-up if you have any questions.

What people are saying about Kindergarten at Fair Acres:
“We feel that our son’s academic and social growth at Fair Acres since Preschool and now ending his tenure here in Kindergarten has improved exponentially! He went from being a socially shy and academically apprehensive child to a confident, happy and academically flourishing child.”
“My daughter has improved immensely so far. She is reading on her own, speaking Spanish, counting, knows the months in order and more. As well as academically, she has also grown emotionally which is just as important. I don’t have to fight for her to go to school. She wants to go on the weekends. This shows me she is really enjoying it as well.”

Meet Philly, the latest addition to the Fair Acres and Larson family. Philly’s name came from the beautiful city of Philadelphia where Molly Larson lived during her veterinarian school experience. Philly was adopted from Golden Hugs Rescue in Vermont, originally from Luna Farms in Alabama. He is just over 1 year old and loves all things puppies like to do, especially being around people. Philly was adopted in November and you may have seen him around as we have been introducing him to the school, children, and Fair Acres property.
With the help of “Nine to Five Canine,” owned by Corinne Leary we are very proud and happy with Philly’s progress. Corinne, the owner, and trainer of Nine to Five Canine, is also a proud Fair Acres Country Day School graduate! Corinne has a background in various training styles and has always said “A trained dog comes in many different forms. Whether a show champion, a canine good citizen, or a dog that simply comes when called, a trained dog is defined by your goals and the work you want to put forth.” Nine to Five Canine works with you and your pup to build a foundation in puppy training, on and off leash obedience, and/or correcting problem behaviors with behavior modification. She sees each dog as an individual as each dog has different motivations due to breed genetics, background, or lifestyle at home, and therefore may learn in a different way than others. Focusing on the individual dog, she can then educate both your dog and you as a handler in the best way possible for your training goals.
Philly went to training with the goal of acclimating to his wonderful new home after bouncing around foster homes. Corinne, Jodi, and Curt worked together to get him settled into his new lifestyle, build his confidence in learning social cues, play styles from other dogs, and work around real-life distractions. Philly learned confidence, new commands, and the rewards that come from following through both on and off a leash. From this, the line of communication was able to be opened between Philly and the Fair Acres family to enjoy a better bond and relationship for years to come.
We are so grateful to keep the Fair Acres dog tradition alive…. Lady, Lucy, and now Philly.
Please welcome Philly to The Fair Acres family with a small treat or a loving pat.
