2013-2014 Educational Preschool Program The Matt Dishman Early Childhood Education Program includes our Preschool (3-4 year olds) and ­Pre-Kindergarten (4-5 year olds) classes. These programs run September - May with students typically starting in September. Children must be the proper age by September 1, 2012 to be eligible.

Our program follows a developmental philosophy that children develop and grow at their own rate. To enhance the learning experience, our programs feature learning stations that enable children to explore different areas of development. Occasionally, we have mid-year openings.

For specific information on our preschool program or to register your child, please call Matt Dishman CC at 503823-3673. The non-refundable materials fee for the 20122013 school year is $60, which will be split into two equal $30 payments. The first payment is due at initial registration & will be used to secure your child’s spot for the school year.

The second payment is due with the Feb. 2013 monthly tuition payment.

Pre-register for Fall 2013!

Current Students register on April 2 New Students register on April 16

Class Format Our daily schedule consists of a ­curriculum that encourages personal development & ­social interaction with both structured & informal ­learning opportunities.

Creative Class work Art & craft projects lead to an understanding of basic math, science and ­pre-reading concepts, while ­incorporating fine ­motor and ­cognitive skills.

Free Choice Time Learning ­stations allow ­children to choose an educational experience providing ­opportunity for individual exploration and personal expression, while encouraging active learning.

Swimming Lessons Water safety, water ­adjustment and basic swimming skills are taught by certified swim instructors, with a ­student/teacher ratio of 6:1. All lessons take place in the shallow bay of the Matt ­Dishman pool, beginning in October. Students ­attend a thirty-minute lesson 1 day per week ­during their scheduled class time and lessons are ­subject to ­re-scheduling due to aquatic & class ­scheduling needs.

Carpet Time Social and cooperative skills are ­integrated through early learning concepts, shared in a group setting. New information is introduced through stories, songs, and the introduction of themes d ­ uring this time.

Physical Activity Children n ­ aturally love to move! Gym time, swimming and group games ­improve gross motor skill development, ­cooperative play and increase the ability to listen and follow directions in a group ­setting.

Portland Parks & Recreation - Winter 2013 Winter & Spring Break Camps We ask that campers wear comfortable shoes & clothing each day as they will be active. Each camper should bring a healthy lunch, 2 healthy snacks, swimsuit, towel, water bottle. Drop-off & pick-up will be in the game room each day. For your child’s safety, parents/guardians are required to sign their child in at the beginning of each day and sign them out at the end of the day. This is a great opportunity to check in with counselors about what is happening for the day and also double checking that everything went smoothly during the day. Please allow an extra 10 or 15 minutes on the first day, to complete a Camper Registration Form.

Structure & Variety

We include a variety of activities to keep young minds and bodies active and challenged. Free choice and relaxation time provides a chance to enjoy low-key activities between more in-depth, structured projects and games. All children are encouraged to participate, but never forced. Field trips to natural areas, recreation sites, and cultural centers are fun learning experiences. We create an environment that is structured and supportive, but also fun and flexible.

Staff & Safety

Payment

Payment is due prior to the camp start date. You may pay the entire balance at the time of registration, or you can pay a down payment of $10 per week and schedule your payments to be due Monday prior to the camp’s start date.

Registration

Safety is our number one priority. We hire highly skilled, energetic, and caring people who truly love working with children. All of our staff are First Aid and CPR certified, and must pass a background check.

Camps fill quickly, so register early. If you need to withdraw, a full refund will only be issued if the notice is given by noon on the Friday before camp starts.

Prorated refunds will be given after that. Withdrawals made less than three days in advance will be assessed a $15 withdrawal fee.

Meet The Instructor!

Kelly teaches dance and gymnastics classes to students ages 1- adult at East Portland, Montavilla, and now here at Dishman Community Center. You will also see her dancing with various groups here in Portland, including Blue Sky Ensemble. Kelly holds a B.F.A in dance from The University of Montana, where her endeavors included performing at the Kennedy Center in the National American College Dance Festival’s gala concert with “Prey,” choreographed by Bebe Miller. Her training includes modern, improvisation, ballet, jazz, gymnastics, yoga, and tap. Kelly’s most recent project is a show of her own choreography, currently in the rehearsal process. Kelly’s teaching style focuses on individuality (after all, everybody is made differently), and joy in movement, while gaining body awareness. One of her goals is to help tap into the natural flow in our bodies. Fair warning, she has been known to re-teach adults how to do cartwheels!
