The Park District of La Grange offers convenient online registration. Online registration runs simultaneously to walk-in registration; neither procedure has priority over the other. Online registration is available 24/7 once registration begins for the season but closes on a program’s start date in most cases. Late registration is accepted at the Recreation Center. Please be sure to view/print your receipt to verify that your online transaction processed correctly. New patrons that qualify for Resident or Neighborhood Network rates should visit the Recreation Center to provide proof of address and set up an online account.

A $5 service charge per class will be deducted from all refunds over $5, except when a medical certificate is presented in writing or the District cancels a program. Exceptions to this policy will be noted in a program’s details in the brochure. If the Park District cancels a program, participants will have a choice of full refund, credit, or class transfer, if available. *Please note: the BASE (Before & After School Experience program and related activities) may be subject to different refund policies as issued by the Supt. of BASE.

Face Coverings Required Please be sure to wear a face covering whenever not exercising or participating in a sport in the gymnasium. This includes entering and exiting the facility and in all common areas.

HOW WE ARE KEEPING YOU SAFE Limiting Programming & Participants We are limiting the number of programs being offered while also scheduling out 2030 minutes in between classes to allow for program rooms to be disinfected. Programs are capped at a smaller number to allow for social distancing. Additionally, virtual programs are being made available, when possible. Please understand our staff are providing the best experience possible given the limitations. Frequent Sanitizing Staff are frequently disinfecting common touch points, restrooms, program rooms and equipment. Hand sanitizer stations are setup throughout the Recreation Center.

Learning Ladders Preschool 2021 - 2022 (TC)

Our primary goal at Learning Ladders Preschool is that children learn through socialization and play based activities. Our secondary goal is that children are exposed to reading readiness skills, the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors. You will receive a handbook which includes the days classes do not meet as well as the payment schedule at the time of registration. The Learning Ladders Preschool Program meets from September 7, 2021 through May 6, 2022. A $100.00 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration and will be applied to your tuition. The tuition will be paid using an auto debit payment plan. This can be set up with a credit card or checking account. Payments will be made in eight monthly auto debit payments from August 15, 2021 through March 15, 2022. Learning Ladders Preschool classes are offered at three locations: the Gilbert Park building located at 41st Street and Gilbert Avenue, Sedgwick Park building located at 10th Avenue & 48th Street, and the Recreation Center located at 536 East Avenue.

Registration

Where: Recreation Center, 536 East Avenue, La Grange When: Registration for residents and non-residents is underway! A non-refundable $100 deposit is required at registration. Registration continues until a class has reached its maximum enrollment. If a class has not reached the minimum enrollment by Friday, August 6th, 2021 it will be cancelled.

Program Philosophy

Learning Ladders is a recreation program that has been designed to meet the physical, social, intellectual, and creative needs of children ages 2 1/2 to 5 years. It is based on the premise that children learn through play. Play serves as a “child’s work”, a time when new discoveries and friendships are made. Through play, children learn to communicate with words, express feelings, explore, create, problem solve, make decisions, and much, much more. In addition to creative free play there will be a balance of teacher directed group activities as well. Introduction and exposure to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other beginning concepts occurs. Our teaching staff creates and implements lesson plans based on Illinois Early Learning Standards.

Fall 2021

Goals and Objectives

Our primary goal at Learning Ladders is that children learn through socialization and play-based activities. Our secondary goal is that children are exposed to reading readiness skills, letters, numbers, shapes and colors.

• Develop a sense of security in group situations. • Develop respect for others. • Establish routines, patterns and sharing behavior. • Learn problem-solving skills. • Learn correct use, respect and responsibility for materials and equipment. • Explore the surrounding environment. • Provide a fun, happy and safe environment for all participants. We have a variety of play areas and materials to help us accomplish these objectives. A child’s first social experience should be positive and enjoyable. Our Learning Ladders Preschool is a happy and safe place for these first experiences to begin. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the program at any time, please contact Teresa Chapman, Assistant Superintendent of Recreation, at (708) 352-1762.

PARK DISTRICT OF LA GRANGE BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL RECREATIONAL EXPERIENCE Open to students in School District 102 and St. Frances Xavier As much as we all wish it were different, the workday lasts longer than the school day. Where can your kids go to have fun while you begin or end your workday? BASE! One of the major goals of The Before and After School Program is to create a safe, secure and comforting environment and recreational experience for each child. The program overlaps with both home and school but has a separate identity. Since the BASE Program uses a block of time in which the child would ordinarily be at home, the program strives for more characteristics of home than school. For example, when kids get home, they typically want a snack before dinner or parents want their kids to start working on their homework. BASE provides all participants with a delicious snack as well as time to work on homework. But don’t worry, there’s also plenty of time for socialization and activities. The key to our program is safe, flexible, and enriched recreational curriculum with age-appropriate activities to meet the developmental needs of the children. The BASE program knows kids need to learn to be responsible, independent, and a contributor to the group. The program is designed to emphasize and promote a positive self-concept as well as a sense of responsibility in each child. The program follows School District 102 and the St. Francis Xavier school year calendars. When there are dates on the school calendar with no school, we offer specialty camps at the Park District. The camps are for families registered in BASE and attending consistently every day, Locations Barnsdale Road School Forest Road School

SCHOOL DISTRICT 102 Cossitt School Congress Park School Ogden Avenue School

Hours of Operation Morning - 7am-8:30am Monday-Friday Afternoon - 3:15pm-6:00pm Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri Afternoon - 2:30pm-6:00pm Wednesday

throughout the school year. Registration for school year camps is taken separately from weekly BASE schedules. Parents will receive the specialty camp dates, times and fees when the school year begins in August. Registration Information: A non-refundable $35.00 registration fee is charged per child each school year. Before and After School registration is held at the Park District in the spring. A completed registration form and payment is due upon registering your child. When registering for the upcoming school year, we offer registration first to those families who will use the program full-time (AM & PM care). Two weeks later, open registration begins for those who will use the program on a part-time basis. Weekly Schedule and Attendance: Schedules are due in advance by Thursday for the following week. Schedule forms may be obtained at the school’s BASE program and submitted with payment via check, submitted and paid via the online system, or submitted and paid at the Park District. Multiple weeks may also be submitted/paid in advance. Please note that late fees apply to schedules not submitted on time. It is important that schedules are submitted on time so we can notify the classroom teachers on Monday morning which students are attending BASE that week. BASE meets at District 102 schools and St. Frances Xavier, not at the Park District. Please note that the weekly fee applies regardless of the number of days your child will attend BASE each week. ST. FRANCIS XAVIER Hours of Operation Morning - 6:45am-8:15am Monday-Friday Afternoon - 3:15pm-6:00pm Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri Afternoon - 2:00pm-6:00pm Wednesday Weekly Fees Mornings - $20.00, Afternoons - $45.00 Mornings & Afternoons - $65.00

Weekly Fees Mornings - $20.00, Afternoons - $45.00 Mornings & Afternoons - $65.00 The Park District works closely with our partner, SEASPAR, South East Association for Special Parks and Recreation, to provide recreation programs for children with an IEP, 540 plan, physical impairments, mental disabilities, or any other type of disability. Through this partnership, students can participate in the Before and After School Program specifically designed to meet their individual needs with inclusion support. If your child has a paraprofessional in the classroom, we require one in the Before and After School program at no extra cost to you. When you are completing the Before and After School registration form, please make sure you are answering “yes” if your child requires accommodations. If the information is not provided, it may delay the student attending the program in a timely manner. If you have any questions regarding assistance, please contact the program Superintendent.

Parents should not remain in the classroom or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions tend to affect participant’s attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships. • Please do not bring food to any class, unless previously arranged. • For your children’s safety, all children enrolled in preschool age programs must be picked up from the specific classroom or program site by their parents or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals. • A mandatory sign in and sign out procedure for all participants is required for all Park District programs. *Note: the park district staff does not change diapers, the parents will be contacted in the case of an accident.

GENERAL INFORMATION LATE PICK-UP POLICY

The Park District of La Grange staff will supervise children who are left beyond the scheduled time until a parent or other authorized adult on the pick-up list arrives. However, late pick-ups will result in a fee. Payment of the late fee is to be paid at the Recreation Center located at 536 East Avenue BEFORE your child can attend the next day of class. If you have any questions, please call Kevin Miller at (708) 352-1762. 1-15 minutes late = $5.00 Every additional minute = $1.00

Important Information

The Park District of La Grange is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. The Park District of La Grange continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participant’s safety. Please recognize that the Park District of La Grange does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive; therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own medical insurance policy for coverage. It must also be noted that the absence of medical insurance coverage does not make the Park District of La Grange automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses.

6. No golfing in the parks. Youth golf program participants are exempt from this rule during scheduled golf lessons.

7. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted. Exceptions apply to lighted areas (i.e. courts, fields, etc.)

Program Code of Conduct

To ensure enjoyable and safe programs for all participants, the Park District of La Grange has developed a behavior code. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff. • Refrain from using foul language. • Refrain from causing bodily harm. • Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. Additional rules are developed for specific programs as deemed necessary by staff.

Program Financial Assistance

The Financial Assistance Policy of the Park District of La Grange is established to provide a fair and equitable system through which District residents may take part in recreation programs when they are unable to pay the required fees. Partial program fee waivers may be granted for Park District of La Grange residents for certain programs. Any family who would like to see if they are eligible for a scholarship may obtain an application from the Park District of La Grange Administration Office at 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

CO-OP Programming

If the graphic symbol appears next to a program title, it is a CO-OP, and resident rates apply for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held.

The Park District of La Grange requires that all program participants or legal guardians sign a Liability Waiver and Release form at the time of registration. This form must be signed prior to participation in any Park District program. Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

There are three reasons why park districts and recreation departments typically offer programs in cooperation with another agency. Reason #1 is because individually each agency does not have the population base to support a program. Reason #2 is that one of the agencies does not have the facility to offer a program. Reason #3 is that both agencies can increase the variety of programs offered to their residents.

Park Usage Rules

The Park District’s policy is to reasonably accommodate all qualified program applicants in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
