Message from the

General Manager SUMMER 2016 What do you consider a good state of healthiness for yourself? Do you measure your health by how many pounds overweight or underweight you are? Do you measure it by how limber you are and how pain-free your back is? Do you measure it by how out-ofbreath you are as you get to the top of the stairs? Is it your “body mass index” or your blood pressure reading from your last doctor’s visit? Is it how easy it is to get down and play with the kids or grand-kids? Is it a good bill of health from a recent physical? Is it how you look in the mirror to battle the aging process? Is it your ability to get around, walk in the manner that you would like?

LARPD is your partner in achieving good health and wellness in your daily life. Look through the pages of this guide and see how many great opportunities there are for you and your family to improve your fitness, health, and social activity. We’ll be rolling out new fitness class experiences in the coming months to get you in shape for the rest of your life.

Little Learners (2.5 yrs by 9/1/16)

Aimed at having fun, this parent participation program is designed to prepare children for future preschool experience.

Through play, parents may enjoy activities with their child to develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments. An adult will participate at least two times per month and at all times until the child is able to use the restroom independently.

Preschool (3 yrs by 9/1/16) (Previously known as Tiny Tots) Three-year-olds are busy and curious. Our goal is to channel these wonderful behaviors and guide them into the world of learning. Classes focus on independence, social interaction, and language development, fine motor and gross motor activities. This play-based class offers theme related play, social experiences and opportunities to make choices and develop self-control. Parents/guardians are encouraged to participate at least one day per month. Children must be able to use the restroom independently.

NEW

Transitional Preschool (3 by 9/1/16)

We play, we learn! Is your 3 year not completely ready for the independence of preschool?

Parents participate in the classroom encouraging their child to learn about spatial awareness as they build with blocks and experience sand, water, paint, and art materials. They learn problem solving and sharing. Through all of these experiences they are building new vocabulary and independence. An adult will participate at least two times per month and at all times until the child is able to use the restroom independently.

Pre-K

(4 yrs by 9/1/16)

Four-year-olds are ready to expand their independence and are becoming aware of the world around them. When engaged in thoughtful, age appropriate play, the benefits include gaining confidence for Kindergarten readiness as well as self-esteem, building relationships, problem-solving, conflict resolution, expanding language, understanding rules and limits, discovering talents, sparking creativity, inspiring thinking, defining personality, and sorting out likes and dislikes. Healthy, valuable play touches on every area of a child’s development. Parents/guardians are encouraged to participate at least one day per month. Children must be able to use the restroom independently.
