“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.

This year’s April Vacation Camp was an action-packed week, full of fun and friendships, featuring plenty of outdoor games, imaginative play, crafts and nature-based activities!
Our vacation campers made use of the entire campus, and enjoyed engaging with each other in this year’s themes, which included “Bubble Fun,” “Earth Day,” “Ice Cream Social” and “Baseball Day”…
Fair Acres was so happy to be able to offer our Learn-to-Skate program again this year!
This program took place on Tuesdays throughout the month of March at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. The Pre-K and Kindergarten students traveled by bus to the rink (the bus ride was a huge highlight for the children!), and after lacing up, took to the ice to embark on the adventure of developing their ice skating skills together.
After the first couple of weeks, all of the children were off skating independently, no longer needing to reply on crates for balance. We were amazed by their progress, as they proudly demonstrated their skating abilities!
Our Learn-to-Skate program provides for a whole lot of fun, but also supports our goal of encouraging the development of very important skills, as well as physical activity. Preparing to ice skate requires many fine motor skills, including zipping jackets, tying skates and putting on gloves, and skating improves posture, balance, flexibility and coordination, while enhancing muscle strength and endurance.
Fair Acres is very proud of the long list of alumni, who have gone on to become hockey players and figure skaters, and we are very grateful to our staff, parents, and grandparents, who shared their time and talents with us, to help make this program a huge success!
