hope this change of season finds you well. The staff at River Trails understands the need to feel safe during these uncertain times and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We have worked very hard to ensure that our parks, facilities, and programs are clean and safe for you. Our entire team has made your health and wellness our number one priority. If you ever have questions about the steps we take to ensure your safety, please ask one of the program supervisors. We have developed Virtual Programming for those who do not want to take any risks. For those that do not wish to participate in facility programming, we respect your feelings. We hope to see you when you feel more comfortable participating in our in-person programs. We are here for you.. In the meantime, we continue to look for ways to serve the community better. This fall, we worked, in conjunction, with School District 26 to problem-solve solutions in helping families whose children need supervision during remote school days and cannot be at home. Our Kid Squad before and aftercare program has morphed into Kid Squad Connect, a safe place where kids can do their virtual schooling in a structured and safe environment at The Zone and under our park district staff’s supervision. Hopefully, this allows hard-working parents to be able to get back into some level of normalcy. You may notice that our last couple of brochures have been electronic. We will continue to create an electronic program brochure as we continue to work our way through the slowdown caused by Covid-19. We understand that the seasonal brochure is desired but ALL of our programs and registration access is listed on our website. We are evaluating all our services, potential cost-saving, and efficiencies during these challenging times.

Upcoming projects In 2021, Aspen Trails Park will undergo a major renovation. In conjunction with the Village of Mount Prospect, the village will be installing an underground water detention vault to mitigate flooding in the northeast part of our community. Between the Village and our 2020 Open Space Land Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) Grant, we will be replacing 100% of the park features there. By the spring of 2022, we will have an all-new playground, baseball field, basketball and tennis courts, and newly graded soccer fields. We are grateful for this opportunity to set this part of the community up with a brand new park for the next 20 years.

Social and Equity Benefits Parks and recreation facilities provide social and equity benefits for all community members. According to an analysis of social equity and parks conducted by NPRA, public parks offer equal access to all citizens regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or ability. Parks and recreation facilities can foster community pride, bring people together, create destination-oriented places, and connect people and nature. The River Trails Park District serves both the Prospect Heights and Mount Prospect communities. These are exciting times. Don’t miss any of the fun events, so be sure to Like Us on FaceBook, it’s just that easy.

Trail Blazers

Preschool Philosophy

ur Trail Blazers program is a developmentally appropriate program designed to help children grow and learn in a stimulating and nurturing environment. We look at the ‘whole child’ including intellectual, social, emotional, physical and creative growth. Children develop differently in each space so the curriculum is carefully planned to include activities that help each child learn and grow in all areas. Children will be introduced to the basic academic and social skills of preschool and will be encouraged to develop problem-solving skills, selfconfidence and creativity. Activities will include math, science, language skills, art, motor movement, music and dramatic play. All areas of each child’s growth are important and we provide opportunities for intellectual, social, physical and creative growth. Activities are presented in individual, group, structured and unstructured settings and Jolly Phonics curriculum is used for kindergarten readiness. Our goal is for each child to develop a love of learning, tools to continue to learn and a positive image of himself or herself.

Upon completion, individuals will sign a Parents Code of Ethics and receive the PAYS membership card and handbook.
