A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Bolingbrook Community,

As we eagerly anticipate the warmth of the approaching summer, we are thrilled to share the exciting programs and initiatives the Bolingbrook Park District has in store for you. We are committed to providing diverse, engaging, and enriching experiences for residents of all ages.

• Outdoor Adventures: Bolingbrook is full of beautiful parks and natural spaces, and this summer, we invite you to explore our playgrounds, ballfields, courts, golf course, aquatic center, pathways, and outdoor events. Participate in the Summer Park Games to learn more about our parks and win prizes, or Visit Your Local Park to ride the trackless train, try the climbing wall, enjoy fun programs, stories and games. Don’t miss our Family Bike Challenge, Dog Sensory Hike, movies in the parks and concerts on the hill to connect with nature, socialize with family and friends, and create lasting memories under the sunlit and moonlit skies.

• Fitness and Wellness Initiatives: Prioritizing health and well-being, we are introducing new fitness programs catering to all fitness levels. Try Zumba and Yoga in the Park, group fitness classes at Lifestyles Fitness Center, walking or running in Parkie’s 5k, or Vino & Vinyasa at Ashbury’s. Our goal is to promote an active lifestyle and provide a supportive community for everyone on their wellness journey.

• Aquatics and Water Activities: Beat the summer heat with our expanded aquatics programs. From swimming lessons for all ages to aqua aerobics and Lazy River 5k’s, Pelican Harbor will be buzzing with energy. Additionally, spending summer days at Pelican Harbor promises a refreshing fun escape for the whole family.

As we embark on this summer journey together, we encourage you to explore the diverse offerings we have carefully curated. The Bolingbrook Park District is not just a place for recreation; it's a community hub where connections are made and memories are cherished. Thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of enhancing your summer experiences. We look forward to seeing you at our events and programs, where the warmth of community spirit shines brightly.

Two unique Sites... One Common Goal... Create a Learner for Life

Bolingbrook Park District preschool programs, offered for children ages 2 ½ to 5 years of age, believes in "Learning through Play." Play is the most important aspect of a child's life. It is their work; where they learn to interact, share and cooperate. Through play, a child is not only building a strong foundation for intellectual development but is also learning how to deal with emotions, decision making and problem solving. Carefully supervised free play is vital and is designed to be safe and appropriate for the age group. Preschool curriculum concepts for the school year include the following areas; pre-writing/ writing, interest, math/science, early literacy, gross motor, music and art creation. The teacher's role is vital throughout the day as a co-discoverer (not merely dispenser) of knowledge and facilitator (not merely manager) of play. Preschoolers in these programs are preparing for success in future learning.

Preschool Programs

SOON 2B3 PROGRAM

Children 2 ½–3 years old have their first positive experiences in a preschool classroom and become comfortable separating from parents for a regular period of time. Development of social skills, large and small motor skills, and basic curriculum concepts are a part of your child’s day. Diapers and pull-ups are acceptable to begin with, but children should be on their way to taking care of their own toileting needs. This class runs 2 days per week.

3 YEAR OLD PROGRAM

This program nurtures a 3 year old’s social and emotional growth and provides a curriculum focusing on letters, numbers, shapes and colors and the beginning stages of writing. This class runs 2 or 3 days per week.

4 YEAR OLD PROGRAM

In this program, 4 year olds strengthen relationships with friends and teachers and begin to understand responsibility as they become more self-sufficient. The curriculum focuses on emerging literacy, math, science, creative art and fine motor skills to prepare children for Kindergarten. This class runs 2, 3 or 4 days per week.

Youth & Teen Classes (ages 7–18 years)

Youth & teen dance classes are structured for ages 7–18 years old. Class offerings range from beginner to advanced levels and are great for dancers looking to progress in a certain skill, or try something new. Our program focuses on teamwork, effort, energy, and measuring success through personal improvement and completion of goals.

Our passionate and energetic instructors will provide affordable, high-quality instruction to give your dancer the best experience possible.

After School Dance Classes (school-aged kids)

The Powerdance Program is in place to offer a fun and safe environment for school-age kids to be introduced to dance with their friends.

It takes place right after school and at select schools to make it easier for kids to participate. Some students may want to progress into the more technical aspects of dance and choose to take other Dance Academy classes. Other students may simply want to enjoy a fun and engaging opportunity to dance with their friends. In the end, everyone gets the opportunity to enjoy dance.

Adult Dance Classes (ages 18 years & up)

Adult classes are geared toward those ages 18 years and older. We offer a variety of participation options from drop-in classes to multi-week class sessions. Classes are offered all year, so you’ll always have the opportunity to come dance. Bring a friend or come by yourself. We accept all dancers no matter the level of experience.

BPD Performance Company

The BPD Performance Company is a year long, premier performance dance team from the BPD Dance Academy. At this time, participation in the BPD Performance Company is by invitation only to select Mini (5–7) and Junior (8–12) aged dancers. The BPD Performance Company is derived of dancers who have been recognized for being hard-working, dedicated and professional, with great potential to become strong and confident young performers. The BPD Performance Company focuses on choreography and dance technique for a variety of dance styles including Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acro and Tap. Our dancers can be seen performing at events throughout the Bolingbrook Community and surrounding areas all year long.

Our Mission: To teach our dancers the value of commitment, hard work, integrity, leadership, selfconfidence, positive attitudes and a love for dance in order to help dancers realize and reach their highest potential as performance and competitive dancers.

Instructors may suggest that students change class levels of training if they feel it is in the best interest of the student. We encourage parents to follow the advice of the instructors so that their child can receive the best possible dance training.

Bolingbrook Park District may replace or substitute teachers as needed, at any time during the session.

While kept to a minimum, if your child’s class should require a make-up day, we will work to add a class to the end of the session and notify all participants in advance.
