Preschool - Grade 12

Youth Enrichment

Community Ed is rockin’ this fall! We’ve got the classics, but there’s always room for the next BIG HIT. People love our winter Dance With Me Ball, and this fall marks the first time we’ve offered a less formal event that rockstars can attend with an adult. Join us for the Rock of Ages (see page 15).

We rock (almost) around the clock! In addition to our parent-child classes, our programs on nights and weekends have been selling out quickly the last few years. Check out all the options in the Elementary Nights and Weekends section (pages 10-12), the Parents and Families section (pages 13-15), and throughout the Grades 6-12 listings (pages 17-20).

THe Heart & Science of Parenting

We offer classes for children 3, 4 and 5 years old. Our classes range from 2 to 5 days per week, and include both half-day and full-day options. Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools is an E-STEM district. E-STEM stands for Environmental Education, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. We utilize both indoor and outdoor settings to learn about the world around us in real, meaningful ways. Whether you choose a nature or more traditional classroom setting, this educational philosophy is integrated throughout all of our programming. Learn more about preschool programs at www. priorlake-savage.k12.mn.us/our-schools/ edgewood/circle-of-friends-preschool. Call 952-226-0956 for more information.

Appointments, paperwork, therapies, treatments. You know you’re busy; we know you deserve this time to refuel! Make ECFE your weekly opportunity to connect with other parents of children with extra needs to share stories, resources, challenges and successes. Conversations may at times be supplemented with visits from guest speakers, as group interest and need dictates. While grown-ups meet, children will be cared for by our experienced teachers and assistants in a safe and developmentally appropriate classroom setting. As with all ECFE classes, scholarships are available and no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay.

Build a community with your parenting peers within our comfortable, supportive environment. While playing, singing and relaxing with your babies, parents will share stories about their baby’s growth and development while discussing strategies for developing healthy babies with a licensed parent educator.

If you are currently caring for a curious kid, join the club! This ECFE class offers a project approach to learning, introducing your little laker to new experiences through guided, hands-on activities. Each unique project will provide opportunities for interaction, communication and skillbuilding. While children are investigating, creating and discovering, parents and care givers will have time to get together and discuss their own interests, whether it be the challenges and celebrations of raising a 21st century student or engaging in a community driven project of their own with the support of a licensed parent educator.

“A champion of the poor and all people treated unfairly.” Robin Hood is a model of Heroics as he and his friends do everything they can to stop the evil ways of Sir Guy, the evil Sheriff of Nottingham. At first they stop the Sheriff from taking everyone’s final belongings from a small village. This upsets the Sheriff who stalks Robin in Sherwood Forest only to be invited to a feast held by Robin and his gang. However, the Sheriff kidnaps Robin’s romantic interest, Lady Marian and whisks her away to his castle knowing Robin will come to save her. Robin and his crew show up the next day at the Nottingham Fair with plans to free Marian. During the archery tournament, the Sheriff identifies Robin and a short chase ensues until a letter arrives from King Richard who relegates the Sheriff into the custody of the new Lord and Lady of Huntingdon, Robin and Lady Marian.
