Educational Preschool Our Educational Preschool Programs are all based on the philosophy that children learn through play, by exploring & manipulating their environment. The goal of our programs is to provide opportunities for children to develop & grow at their own rate. To enhance this experience, our classrooms are set up in learning centers that enable children to explore different areas of development, such as fine motor, socialization, pre-math, pre-reading & listening skills. All of our programs run concurrently with the Portland Public Schools’ calendar. Child must be potty trained & meet the minimum age required for each specific class by Sept. 1. Once registered, it is assumed your child will remain with the program for the entire school year. For more information on specific programs or to register, please contact the individual site.

These programs run September - May with students typically starting in September. Children must be the proper age by September 1, 2012 to be eligible. Our program follows a developmental philosophy that children develop and grow at their own rate. To enhance the learning experience, our programs feature learning stations that enable children to explore different areas of development. Occasionally, we have mid-year openings. For specific information on our preschool

program or to register your child, please call Matt Dishman CC at 503-823-3673. The non-refundable materials fee for the 2012-2013 school year is $60, which will be split into two equal $30 payments. The first payment is due at initial registration & will be used to secure your child’s spot for the school year. The second payment is due with the Feb. 2013 monthly tuition payment.

Class Format – Our daily schedule consists of a curriculum that encourages personal development & s ocial interaction with both structured & informal learning opportunities. Free Choice Time – Learning stations allow children to choose an educational experience providing o pportunity for individual exploration and personal expression, while encouraging active learning. Carpet Time – Social and cooperative skills are integrated through early learning concepts, shared in a group setting. New information is introduced through stories, songs, and the introduction of themes during this time.

Swimming Lessons – Water safety, water adjustment and basic swimming skills are taught by certified swim instructors, with a student/teacher ratio of 6:1. All lessons take place in the shallow bay of the Matt Dishman pool, beginning in October. Students a ttend a thirty-minute lesson 1 day per week during their scheduled class time and lessons are subject to re-scheduling due to aquatic & class scheduling needs.

Physical Activity – Children n aturally love to move! Gym time, swimming and group games improve gross motor skill development, c ooperative play and increase the ability to listen and follow directions in a group setting. Creative Class work – Art & craft projects lead to an understanding of basic math, science and pre-reading concepts, while incorporating fine motor and cognitive skills.

Summer Day Camp Structure & Variety We include a variety of activities to keep young minds and bodies active and challenged. Free choice and relaxation time provides a chance to enjoy low-key activities between more in-depth, structured projects and games. All children are encouraged to participate, but never forced. Field trips to natural areas, recreation sites, and cultural centers are fun learning experiences. We create an environment that is structured and supportive, but also fun and ﬂexible.

Peninsula Park Community Center

How it Works First choose the activity you’d like to do & the PP&R site at which you’d like to do it. Next, register for the class. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity. Once registered, contact Inclusion Services at (503) 823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services, you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member at that number. At the end of the phone intake it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support at the age-appropriate class. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

Spring 2012 The Peninsula Performing Arts Academy provides a variety of choices of performance arts for all ages! Our Academy focuses on three mediums: Theatre, Dance & Music. 6 months - 4 years For the youngest participants we have our “Exploring Movement” classes. These classes are designed to engage parents & children in a positive, fun & active experience. If you & your child are interested in music, be sure to check-out our “Music - Exploring Together!” course located with the Music Program. 3 years - 6 years At age 3, children are eligible to join our progression based educational arts programs. Students ages 3-6 can work on their balance & coordination with our Level I Dance classes. These courses are traditionally some of our most popular courses and they focus on the introduction to various dance mediums, including: creative movement, ballet, tap, and hip-hop. 6 years - 14 years Students can further develop their dance technique in ballet, tap, or hip-hop. Through our Theater program, students can participate in a performing piece that integrates vocal music, dance and theatre arts. The “American Musical Showcase” class is an interactive and popular program that performs well-known Broadway shows quarterly. Students enrolled in most Level I dance programs or above will participate alongside the theater students to make the show truly the culminating center of the performing arts academy. Children may repeat our classes as new concepts & materials will continue to be introduced. At age 8, students can enroll for private guitar lessons or private vocal lessons held weekly at Peninsula at an incredible value. 14 years & up For our students are 14 & up, we offer a variety of courses in every category. Classes include: Guitar, Ballet, Tap and Theatre. In addition the center offers a wide variety of adult fitness courses and courses designed for both parent & child to attend.

Need a memorable site for a special occasion? A quiet space for a meeting? The Historic Overlook House is just that place, perfect for your wedding, anniversary party, business retreat or any special event that deserves a beautiful and unique setting, in the heart of the city but off the beaten path. Built in 1927, the handsome brick and stucco Tudor residence sits on more than an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds. Views of the Willamette River and Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Hills span from the grounds as well as the plentiful windows. Mature trees and lovely perennials frame the garden. A rose covered trellis creates a focal point for a romantic outdoor wedding or reception in summer and early fall. Inside, the charm of the original woodwork, beveled glass and tile fireplace offer an intimate setting for your event. The house and grounds are adaptable for indoor or outdoor events. Furniture and rooms can be arranged to fit your needs. Chairs, tables, dishes and silverware are available for your guests, along with a full kitchen for food preparation, do-it-yourself or by your caterer. The first floor is wheelchair accessible. Capacity for indoor events is 75 and outside events is 150. The Historic Overlook House is minutes from downtown Portland or from the airport. The house is open for tours every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. Reservations are not necessary, but if you call ahead we will know to expect you. We hope to see you soon.

Team Member Spotlight University Park is proud to highlight the contribution of its dedicated staff members. This season’s employee spotlight recipient is Christopher “Scooter” Bradley. Christopher has worked for the parks bureau, specifically the University Park Community Center, for the past five years. During that time, Christopher has worn many “hats” at the center from class instructor to camp counselor, but the one program that he spends the most of his time and is passionate about is the after-school program at UPCC known as the “Homework Club”. One of his goals is to be a positive role model in the community and working to improve the community by providing the best possible service to those who live in it. Christopher foresees himself as a future educator and youth advocate. You can find “Scooter” Monday-Thursday working with local youth in the after-school program or on Saturdays during Teen Nights at the community center.
