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.

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 childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development. Parents/guardians are encouraged to participate at least one day per month.
