PRESCHOOL
PROGRAM NOTES
The Recreation Department provides a wellrounded class experience for each child. We
do our best to meet the individual needs of
each child in a relaxed environment. Children
must be the correct age by the first day of class.
Our classes promote socialization, physical and
mental growth, and can help ease the transition
to preschool. Staff will not change diapers. If
your child is in a drop- off class, you will need
to be available if a diaper needs to be changed.
An adult must accompany each child enrolled
in a parent/child program. Families with twins
and triplets must bring additional caregivers.
Gymtastic Play Time
Come enjoy an hour in the gym playing on the equipment as it is set up for your enjoyment.
Provide your tot with a safe environment to let off some steam playing with other children
their age. Register for the whole session or pay as you come to the indoor play time.
