Parent Power Hour
NEW
Toddlerhood can be a time of amazing growth and triumph for parents as their children move from dependent babies to independent determined little people. Although this can be a joyous time filled with delight it can also pose huge challenges to parents as we navigate these years of new found freedom in our children. If you would like to learn more about the 18 month – 3 year old, or want a place to go to discuss and learn from other parents, please join me in an eight class series. Topics include (but are not limited to) basic developmental stages, emotional and social development, play and learning, positive discipline/limit setting, tantrums, and temperament. While we are discussing topics your child will be engaged in different play activities in the CARD Preschool Classroom with Michelle Gustafson; a CARD preschool teacher. Parent Power Hour can be taken in combination with Our Time Together, in which parents can see in action some of the topics we will be covering, or on its own. This is an eight-week class that meets every other Friday from 9:00 am – 10:30am Classes begin Friday September 11, 2015 and go through Friday December 18, 2015.

Our Time Together: Parent/Child Program for 18-35 Months Old Fall 2015 Begins Wed. 9/2 Our Time Together can be an exciting and fun opportunity for your child to improve current skills, learn new skills, make friends, and have fun. This is also an opportunity for us to create a parenting community and share development milestones. During the toddler years, your child will make huge strides physically, intellectually, and emotionally, whether it’s learning to use the potty or stacking blocks. Something to observe in this program is how your child plays adjacent to other children in the playgroup. This cooperative social interaction is called parallel play and helps children begin language development, build confidence, and form relationships. Your child will increasingly learn to share and become aware of other’s emotions, as well as learn cause and effect through trial and error of adjusting and solving problems in play. Not only are our classes a wonderful bonding opportunity for you and your child, they are an excellent way to meet new friends, introduce your child to other children, and find others that will support you through the exciting adventure of parenthood.
Our Time Together Frequently Asked Questions What is the structure of the class? Each day the classroom will be set up with developmentally age appropriate toys and activities that parents can do with their child. The teacher will be there to assist parents and children in participation. We have a single day a week option (Monday or Wednesday) or a two day a week option (Monday and Wednesday). How many teachers are there for the class? We have one teacher for each program. The teacher is hand selected for their experience working with young children. All staff are fingerprinted. Do I need to stay with my child during class? Yes. This class is formatted as a parent/child class with the goal of giving parents an opportunity to bond, meet other parents that have children the same age as theirs and provide parent support.

Fall 2015 through Spring 2016 Our mission at Thrive is to inspire a life-long love of learning by respecting each person’s individual interests, strengths, and capabilities. It is a place where children are free to learn, inspire, imagine, create, play, and shine! All sessions will live up to that mission by being a free and open structured environment where children are liberated to choose their level of participation. Session advisors work with the children to create an emergent and free flowing curriculum that derives from the imaginations of the children enrolled. Learning invitations are presented in an environment that fosters imagination, self- motivation, and meaningful experiences. Books, websites, magazines, nature, music, math concepts, science projects, art projects, building materials, creative play, and idea sharing will spark the imagination. Thrive also presents a wonderful opportunity for social experiences and creative expression.

Q: How do I sign my child up? A: To find out if your child’s school has openings, or to get on the waiting list, contact the CARD office at 895-4711. Many schools have little or no waiting lists; however, CARD recommends you put your child on the waiting list when they are 2 years old to help ensure you will have a spot when they enter school.

Q: Does my child have to attend every day? A: No. The program is for your benefit and you may use it as you feel necessary. The fee for the program is a flat rate fee. CARD does not prorate for days not attended.

Be like the bamboo that bends but does not break-deeply rooted and flexible. Instructor: Suzanne Roth, RPT. PV Recreation Center, Social Hall.

Happily, this series of chair yoga poses, designed especially for seniors or people with disabilities, will make Yoga accessible for you. The chair helps eliminate strains on your joints while increasing stability and balance. As you move and breathe through the Yoga poses, circulation improves, joints become more flexible, range of motion increases, and you strengthen and tone your body and mind.

We use lots of costumes, stories, props and instruments to have a rollicking good time! Students should wear a white shirt and black shorts or sweatpants.

Coach Of The Quarter:
SPRING ShortE All Stars- Weekday Parent/Tot Edition (3-5 years old) NEW
Chris Mitchell and Bruce Thomas FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME
Sign your little one up for the ultimate first time sports experience! This five-week program is a wonderful bonding opportunity for you and your little one. Each session will feature a different sport- and include drills and stations that will be facilitated by parents and lead by Recreation Coordinator Kati Crane. The last 15 minutes of each day will include a sports related craft that the participants can take home! Participants will play soccer, flag football, basketball, tee-ball and Olympic sports throughout the weeks! This is an instructional program; participants will not be contacted by a coach. Informational flyer available online at www.chicorec.com. Space is limited so register early! Program will be held at the Dorothy F. Johnson Center. General youth sports jersey is optional (can be purchased at the CARD Office for $13).
Our two Co-Coaches of the Quarter, Coach Bruce Thomas and Coach Chris Mitchell have the spirit of “love of the game” within them! Not only are these two amazing basketball coaches- but they are fantastic people. When each coach was recognized as Coach of the Quarter, the first thing they wanted to do was give appreciation and thank their “co-coaches” and “assistants” that have helped them throughout the years. They both expressed their gratitude to the amazing teamwork and support that was created through a group effort in order to have a positive and successful experience.
SPRING Registration Deadline: 3/22 - make sure to register early Course # Day Date Time Age Fee
Coach Mitchell and Coach Thomas always go above and beyond to make sure that their players are better athletes, but more importantly better people by the end of each season. Coach Mitchell says, “When you see how much effort and passion these kids pour into practices and games, it inspires me to do everything I can to support them.” Coach Thomas says, “Improving as a player and as a person is a lifelong process and I believe a ‘love of the game’ provides the foundation to that process.” Each coach is a master at using basketball as the vehicle to emphasize character development skills throughout each season. On his team, Coach Thomas teaches working together, communication and most importantly, to be accountable to each other and themselves. Coach Mitchell makes sure that each player knows that they are an integral part of the team- regardless of their skill set. He asks players for their ideas and then uses them to give players a level of team ownership that creates a high level of team trust. Both coaches volunteer during basketball seasons for over 7 years of combined CARD coaching. We are so lucky to have them as part of our program, and cannot extend our appreciation enough to them. Congratulations to our Co-Coaches of the Quarter, Chris Mitchell and Bruce Thomas!

Did you know that CARD operates and maintains 11 parks totaling 190 acres, 4 community centers, and two aquatic facilities?
CARD is governed by an elected five member Board of Directors, each serving a four year term. CARD has a salaried General Manager who manages the operation of all District staff, programs, and facilities.
