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.”

2023 Summer Camp Registration is Now Open!

/in /by

Welcome to Fair Acres Summer Day Camp!

We have been very busy this winter preparing for a wonderful and fun-filled summer camp program for the summer of 2023. Our goal is to create a positive experience that will last a lifetime for our campers and ensure a summer of “good ol’ camp fun”. Fair Acres Summer Camp will be offered to children ages 4 – 12 and will run for (4) two-week sessions beginning July 3rd. The camp program begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m.

The program for the summer months has been designed to utilize the eight-plus acres that encompass Fair Acres. The country setting offers large green lawn areas, fully equipped playgrounds, two pickleball courts, a basketball court, a putting green, a ball field, and plenty of woods for exploring nature. We are excited to bring our popular GaGa pit back to summer camp this year. Our campers will enjoy teaming up with their fellow campers for some friendly competition during this kinder gentler version of dodgeball. Gross motor skills along with sportsmanship will be a key part of this fun activity.

The area features spring-fed Shubael’s Pond. Its sandy bottom and gradual depth are the perfect location for swimming and fun-filled water activities. Emphasis will be on physical development through gross motor skills, arts & crafts, swimming instruction, nature, music, and plenty of camp fun. Fair Acres classroom buildings are spacious facilities that are utilized on rainy days and for special activities.

Fair Acres Summer Camp is staffed with hand-selected, qualified persons from all over New England. Our staff is rigorously trained and thoroughly understands the individual needs of each camper. Most of all, they are enthusiastic, energetic, and excited to work with your child to develop their full potential.

Come join us this summer at Fair Acres for all the fun a child can handle! We are looking forward to sharing a great experience with you and your family.

See you this Summer!

Jumpstart’s 2022 “Read for the Record®”

/in /by

On October 27th, Fair Acres participated in Jumpstart’s “Read for the Record®,” the world’s largest shared reading experience!

Each year, Jumpstart selects a campaign book that fosters language and social-emotional development, honors the diversity in our world, has a strong narrative, and appeals to young children. That book is read across the country and around the world by adults and young readers on Read for the Record day.

As a part of this initiative, the children gathered on the stage to listen to Ms. Linda read this year’s campaign book, Nigel and the Moon.

Nigel and the Moon is about a young boy who dreams big, but is too scared to share his dreams with the world. Instead, every night he tells his dream of becoming an astronaut, dancer, and superhero to the moon. As his class moves through career week, Nigel’s community helps him build up confidence in who he is. This book encourages children to celebrate where they come from, who they are, and who they want to be.

The children also worked on a corresponding, “Dream Big” activity, writing about and illustrating what they want to be when they grow up, just like Nigel in the story!

Part of a national campaign that was launched over a decade ago, “Read for the Record®” addresses the educational inequities that leave many children unprepared for Kindergarten, by:

  • Increasing awareness about the critical importance and impact of early literacy
  • Making high-quality children’s books accessible for all children
  • Providing support for Jumpstart for Young Children’s work with early learners in underserved communities across the country
