General Information

Did You Know?

With all that is going on at Lafayette Recreation we thought it would be appropriate to update you on some interesting information that you might not be aware of, for instance: Did you know that in October 2013, Lafayette’s Departments of Recreation, Senior Services & Facility Management along with Parks, Open Space & Golf became one of only 4 agencies in Colorado and 118 agencies nationwide to receive accreditation through the Commission for Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies.

This thorough review and evaluation process will help ensure that Lafayette continues to provide the highest quality programs, services and facilities to our community.

Did you know, that according to the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services most health benefits occur with at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of moderate intensity physical activity?

That’s 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week; and BBRC has a wide variety of activity options to assist you in meeting that goal. Whether it’s basketball, pickleball, racquetball or handball; or treadmills, stepmills or LES MILLS (ie. Body Pump, Body Combat) we’ve got you covered.

Did you know, that Lafayette’s Oatmeal Festival has been a success for over 15 years, and that the new Lafayette Quest Event just finished its 2nd year and has raised thousands of dollars to combat childhood obesity in our community through the Recreation Center’s scholarship fund?

Check out the Community Events section of the Activity Guide for all the amazing events here in Lafayette this season!

Did you know, that the newly remodeled, ADA accessible indoor hot tub, steam room and sauna project just completed has added significant space and comfort to each of these amenities?

To comply with current ADA accessibility standards, we have transformed our indoor hot tub, steam room and sauna into a luxurious spa. Be sure to stop in for a soak and much deserved restoration after your next workout.

Did you know that at any given time the Recreation Center employs around 150 people from all walks of life in our community, including: Front Desk, Child Care, Preschool, Afterschool, Aquatics, Athletics, Fitness and Maintenance staffs; not to mention the myriad of exceptional contractors that partner with the City to provide services?

It is our constant aim to provide a seamless and memorable guest experience to all members, visitors, participants, spectators, etc.

Stay up to date and in the know so you and your family can enjoy all that Lafayette has to offer in supporting your health, fitness, wellness and all around leisure needs -- go to www.cityoflafayette.com/newsletter and sign up for the monthly Buzz at bob’s newsletter!

Let us know your experience(s) at BBRC! We’d love to hear your feedback on how to preserve and promote this community treasure for years and generations to come. Email Sean at seanv@cityoflafayette.com.

Our program features American Red Cross certified swim instructors who give personalized attention to each student. The preschool (Dolphin) classes strive for a 4:1 student to instructor ratio and a 5:1 ratio for our Level 1-6 Program.

STEMgirls provides hands-on programming for the under-served population of girls interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). The goal is to spark an interest for these girls in a STEM field leading them to become female STEM professionals.

Using an exclusive, all female, closed loop business model, the gender equity focus of STEMgirls is to feed the pipeline of future female STEM professionals . *STEMgirls TSA (Take Stuff Apart) Lab Program Girls only 7-13 yrs TSA Lab is the most popular of all STEMgirls workshops.

The activity is literal; STEMgirls take apart broken electronics without the worry of having to put it back together again. Parts are identified(i.e. where is the audio input? Or memory card?) Female STEMgirl mentors from a range of decades participate to promote girls to pursue jobs in technology.

Licensed Preschool

Early childhood preschool program For young children, meaningful and long-lasting learning requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work. This is best accomplished through purposeful play facilitated by highly intentional teaching practices.

The Goals of our Curriculum The most important goal of our early childhood curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic learners and form friendships. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts. Our goal is to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners. We’re teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but also all through their lives. We’re allowing them to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them. We’re giving them good habits and attitudes, particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make a difference throughout their lives. The areas of development are:

Social: To help children feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, make friends, and feel they are a part of the group.

Emotional: To help children experience pride and self- confidence, develop independence and self-control, and have a positive attitude toward life.

Cognitive: To help children become confident learners by letting them try out their own ideas and experience success, and by helping them acquire learning skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions, and use words to describe their ideas, observations, and feelings.

Physical: To help children increase their large and small muscle skills and feel confident about what their bodies can do.

The activities we plan for children, the way we organize the environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily schedule, and talk with children, are all designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum and give the children a successful start in school.

Nutrition Policy We provide a valuable foundation for children to learn healthy habits. Our program encourages nutritional snacks and incorporates activities that promote large motor movement; which are critical components in children’s development. * * * * *
