FREE August 4 August 11 August 18 August 25 Mr. Myers Lincoln Don’t Lie Bopology Zydeco Voodoo Mr. Myers blends the tropical sounds of calypso and ska, the rhythms of reggae and a little rockn-roll with some favorite classic tunes to create their own special style of music—Caribbean Rock. Mr. Myers’ unique combination of musical styles never fails to entertain audiences everywhere. Lincoln Don’t Lie performs today’s top 40 modern country music and adds their own unique spin by creating “country-fied” versions of pop and alternative tunes. From the swingin’ 40’s to the 21st century, that feeling we call “swing” is made even more appealing by Bopology. This renowned six-piece Chicago band was playing swing before swing was cool. Featured on WTTW’s “Wild Chicago,” the band boasts a lineup of well-known musicians. Zydeco Voodoo plays a mix of New Orleans and Mardi Gras music as well as popular rock and blues adapted to the New Orleans style of music. Their family friendly performances get the audience dancing and singing along.

ADA requires that all recreation programs and services through the Village of Villa Park be available in the most integrated setting appropriate for each individual. We work cooperatively with the Northeast DuPage Special Recreation Association (NEDSRA) to provide a “leisure buddy”, or other service for those individuals requiring assistance for participation in our programs. For those with special needs, the support and encouragement provided by the leisure buddy may be the key ingredient to enjoyment and successful participation. If any special accommodations are necessary for participation in any of our programs, or to receive any service available through the Village of Villa Park, please notify someone on the Village staff upon registration. Vandalism Please notify VILLA PARK • Parks and Recreation immediately if you see broken play equipment, damaged park benches or vandalism to athletic fields or any park facilities. You can do this by visiting www.vprd.org and completing a service request. The Summer 2016 season is the last season the vprd.org website will be active. Beginning September 1, 2016, VILLA PARK • Parks and Recreation will exclusively use InVillaPark.com.

Preschool 2016-2017 School Year Our program is licensed by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services. It is designed for your 3, 4 and 5 year old child. Enrolling your child in our preschool program will give your child the advantage they need to succeed in school and beyond. Making new friends and discovering new concepts are just some of the exciting encounters children will experience. Our enthusiastic teachers genuinely care and understand each child's individual developmental needs and learning styles. They take the time to help each child discover, in his or her own way, a fascinating world of learning and play. Children will learn personal and social skills such as eagerness to learn, managing transitions, and playing harmoniously with others. Language and literacy skills will be introduced such as following one or two step directions, using pictures to communicate ideas, alphabet knowledge and listening with interest to stories read aloud. Mathematical thinking will come into play with patterns, sorting, number concepts and spatial relations. Gross motor skills will be taught with active play such as riding a tricycle, jumping on gym mats and climbing on a playground ladder. Fine motor skills include copying their first name, cutting with scissors and active play with playdough. Children will also learn the arts through identifying different colors, participating in group music experiences and taking on pretend roles and situations. All these skills are essential for your child to have a successful Kindergarten experience.

Swim Lessons SWIM LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS Swim lessons meet Monday through Friday. A progress report is issued at the conclusion of each session. All levels of classes are offered at both Jefferson and Lufkin Swim Pools. If you are not sure what level your child completed last year, when registering for this year, please call and we will be happy to assist. If your child’s skills are assessed and determined more fitting for a level other than what they are registered for, we will recommend a transfer to the appropriate level. Swimmers in each level will be separated, according to skills, to allow for maximum achievement. If you register your child for more than one session, please register them in the same level. If your child advances to another level, for a following session, we guarantee you a spot at the time of your choice. Please be aware that it may take more than one session to advance a level. Goggles or masks that cover the nose are not permitted during swim lessons. Swim lessons will be held if it is raining or if the temperature is cool. Only in the event of severe inclement weather will lessons be cancelled. Unfortunately, there will be no make-up lessons and no refunds. If we have to cancel due to weather or facility issues, a program credit will be issued. Please register early, lessons fill up quickly.
