EARLY YEARS & CHILDREN Resort Municipality of Whistler whistler.ca/recreation
Early Years The Resort Municipality of Whistler’s recreationally based preschool programs are designed to developmentally progress your child through their early years in preparation for kindergarten. Our programs support and encourage emotional, cognitive, social, and physical development through a variety of arts, crafts, songs, storytelling, games, fine and gross motor activities, and of course free play. As programs progress, children stay for longer periods of time and teachers meet the children with activities that provide age appropriate challenge and plenty of opportunities for success. This fun environment with positive teacher encouragement will keep children engaged and excited to attend.
Our programs progress for your child as follows: •
Creative Play is an introduction to a group setting for your child. Focus in this class will be on social behaviours within a group while playing in a safe and friendly environment. Children must be 30 to 42 months old to attend.
•
Preschooler Playtime is the next step in your child’s early years journey, for children 3 and above. This 2 and a half hour program has plenty of time for free play and is full of songs, stories, movement and crafts.
•
Awesome Afternoons is a three hour program that follows a similar structure to our Pre-Kindergarten program but it is open to a slightly wider age range. Children can attend this program if they are 3 and a half or older.
•
Pre-Kindergarten is a three hour afternoon program that runs three days a week. The focus of this program is working on the social skills and routines needed to be successful in kindergarten the following year. Children have time to free play, engage in active circle times, learning activities, arts and crafts and gross motor activities. This program is for children born in 2012, they must be 4 years old by December 31, 2016 and attending Kindergarten in 2017.
•
Woodland Wanderers is an entirely outdoor, play based, preschool program where children connect to the natural environment in a physically active way. This program is for children born in 2012, they must be 4 years old by December 31, 2016 and attending Kindergarten in 2017..
How to register for any of our preschool programs: Registration will be available online on designated dates in August for fall and winter programs and in March for spring and summer programs. Once your child has been registered in a program, you are required to fill out the registration form at whistler.ca/ early-years. If you have any questions regarding our preschool programs, please contact the Recreation Programmer in the Myrtle Philip office at 604-935-8371.
Heidi, Program Leader I moved to Whistler almost a year ago with my husband and two kids (5 and 4 years old). I am trained as a high school Home Economics teacher, you know, the fun stuff: cooking, sewing and family studies. I have a background working in the fashion industry on the technical side; pattern making and grading (making different sizes of a garment). Before moving to Whistler I was a stay at home mom and ran a small neighbourhood grocery store and café with my husband. We left the city to be in the mountains and enjoy all the wonders of the outdoors. I have a love for all the fun activities that Whistler has to offer: biking, the forest, hiking, the lakes, swimming, the snow, skiing. Did I mention I love doing handstands! I love to excite, inspire and nurture children to explore the world and all it has to offer (and do handstands)!”

Physical Literacy Fundamental Movement Skills Mastering Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) is the most important step in developing physical literacy. FMS are basic movement skills taught through games and activities that engage children and motivate them to continue in an activity. While these basic skills are fun in nature, they also serve the purpose of teaching the essential skills required as a foundation for more complex physical activities and sports. It is important that all children develop a good base of these skills before puberty to optimize both future performance and lifelong activity.
Do you know about Physical Literacy? Just like reading and writing, children have to learn how to move. Goal of the Whistler Physical Literacy Initiative Every child in Whistler will have the opportunity to develop both physical literacy and games literacy. And that there will be a variety of activities for all individuals to promote lifelong physical activity and participation for life. Physical Literacy Definition Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. (International Physical Literacy Association, 2014) www.physicalliteracy.ca Literacy is defined as: A person’s knowledge of a particular subject or field, for example, computer literacy. Therefore, Physical Literacy is: The mastering of fundamental movements skills. Physically literate individuals: • Demonstrate a wide variety of basic human movements, fundamental movement skills and fundamental sports skills. • Move with poise, confidence, competence and creativity in different physical environments (on the ground, both indoor and outdoor; in the air; in and on water; on snow and ice). • Develop the motivation and ability to understand, communicate, apply and analyze different forms of movement. • Make choices that engage them in physical activity, recreation or sport activities that enhance their physical and psychological wellness, and permit them to pursue sport excellence commensurate with their ability and motivation. www.canadiansportforlife.ca

There are seven stages within the basic LTAD model: • Stage 1: Active Start (0-6 years) • Stage 2: FUNdamental (girls 6-8, boys 6-9) • Stage 3: Learn to Train (girls 8-11, boys 9-12) • Stage 4: Train to Train (girls 11-15, boys 12-16) • Stage 5: Train to Compete (girls 15-21, boys 16-23) • Stage 6: Train to Win (girls 18+, boys 19+) • Stage 7: Active for Life (any age participant) The RMOW focus’ on programming that develops skills and Stage 1 and 2 and then we hope that we meet everyone’s needs for Stage 7.

Information about Swimming Lessons and Programs •
New Program Changes: SwimKids 5: increased time from 30 to 45 minutes as whip kick is introduced in this level, and requires more time to effectively teach. Price has been increased, class maximum increased to 8. SwimKids 9/10: decreased time from 1 hour to 45 minutes due to challenges with swimming volume. Price has also been decreased. Weekend Lessons: higher levels begin earlier in the day than previous sets. The purpose is to allow school-age kids time to move to other activities throughout the mid-morning, and free up family space in the main pool earlier.
•
Programs and facility use before and after: Program participants are free to us the MPSC facility after their program classes. If nonprogram participants wish to use the recreation facility before or after swim programs, regular admission fees apply.
•
Parented Classes: Please be aware that only one caregiver/parent may attend a class with their child. If both parents wish to attend, we recommend parents alternate accompanying their child to each class.
•
Waitlists: If the class that you would like to register for is full, please add your child to the waitlist. If a space opens up, we will contact you as soon as we are aware. We will also try to accommodate creating new lessons for waitlists, dependant on instructor availability, pool space and other considerations.
•
Lesson Evaluations: If you are unsure which lessons your child should attend, and your child is above the age of 3, any lifeguard at the MPSC may perform a swim evaluation free of charge. You must provide an adult to be in the water for evaluations of children younger than 7 years old. Regular admissions apply if you plan to spend extra time using the pool.
Private Swim Lessons Private swim lessons are 10 half-hour lessons on the same day for 10 weeks. The instructor provides focused, individualized instruction that helps to increase the student’s skill progression. Only one child is allowed to register, however they may bring an additional swimming buddy of similar skill level for no extra charge. *Please note that start times may be slightly modified by a half-hour to an hour due to operational requirements.* Course 21916: Day: Time: Age: Fee (Resident): Fee (Non-Resident): Location:

Orientation to water for babies and their parent/caregiver. To enter this level, babies must be able to hold their head up. The goals are to help babies experience buoyancy and movement through songs and play in the water and to teach the parent/caregiver age-specific water safety. This level is participation-based only, without formal evaluation. Orientation to water for toddlers and their parent/caregiver. Age is the only condition for entering this level. Swimmers learn how to use floating objects for support and explore different water movements through games, songs and active water play. The parent/caregiver also learns age-specific water safety. This level is participation-based only, without formal evaluation.
Tiffaney Kelman, Lifeguard/Instructor Working for the RMOW for almost 3 years now, I have been a program leader and most recently lifeguard and swim instructor. Switching speeds from the city to Whistler has been so beneficial for my health and happiness. Between the diversity within the demographic as well as the outdoor experiences available, there’s so much to be gained from living in a town like this one. Whistler is a place that constantly challenges your abilities and comfort zones, developing existing experiences and knowledge. There is a constant strive for better achievement and improving one’s self. Having a background in recreation leadership, I stress the importance of leisure time spent as a balanced part of a healthy lifestyle. I hope to instil this in everyone I come across here at Meadow Park. There’s always something to do with someone in this sleepy mountain town.

We never want to meet your parents. If we do, that means you won’t be around to introduce us. Every year in BC about 1,800 pedestrians are hit by vehicles at night. Make yourself visible and always walk facing traffic. Don’t make your parents fly to Whistler to pack up your things — when you’re dead.
