The Afterschool Program is available from 3:00-6:00 daily. Children may be enrolled
for 1-5 days a week. Due to the number of students enrolled in the program, we are
only able to accomodate emergency “drop-ins”, which will be charged a day fee. Students
may be picked up at any time during afterschool, but late pickups will be charged
a fee. Afterschool phone number: 617-876- 4746 x709.
Younger Afterschool
In Younger Afterschool (YAS), we provide a warm and friendly
environment to PreK through 2nd grade students, encompassing a variety of choices
within a consistent structure. We emphasize and practice skills of physical and
emotional safety, using polite and cooperative words and actions, personal responsibility,
as well as fostering independent and creative thinking, and of course, having lots
of fun!
Games, music, dress-up, blocks, drawing, and a variety of manipulatives
provide many options for students. Each year we incorporate a theme to our weekly
art projects such as different countries and cultures, animal habitats, and human
habitats. Once a week a cooking or baking project provides our daily sit down snack which begins
with our sign language snack poem.

coordinator, Sue Lee: suelee@fayerweather.org
Older Afterschool
The Older Afterschool program (OAS) provides an exciting student driven experience that expands
upon the earlier grades and allows students more freedom to structure their afternoon
based on their individual interests. The primary teachers in the program offer a
variety of activities during the day, which can include sports, drama, art projects,
cooking, dance and music. We also invite specialists to teach a subject in more
detail, based on student interest. In the past these have included such subjects
as Band, Fencing, Theater Improvisation, Weaving and Aikido. Parents can also
arrange to have their child spend a portion of Afterschool time doing homework
under the supervision of a teacher.
The Fayerweather Afterschool program is far more than just child care - many of
our teachers have advanced education degrees. Through the combination of unique
activity choices and relaxing downtime, we strive to create a fun and stimulating
environment that is unique from the regular school day.
