As We Grow Preschool Preschool
Our preschool program is intended to help stimulate your child’s social, emotional, and creative development. Our program emphasizes socialization and learning through play. Classroom activities encourage problem solving, creativity, self-expression, and academics. This enables children to explore in a room filled with warmth, affection, and respect for others. It is the preschool environment where children learn to respect the authority of adults other than their parents. Friendship, sharing, and cooperation are modeled and practiced on a daily basis. The children participate in all types of learning including art, music, creative play, cooking, literature and science. Through carpet time, direct instruction, hands-on learning and freetime activities, the children are exposed to a curriculum that enhances their creativity and also provides a positive atmosphere for learning.
Eligibility
Children must be the proper age as of September 1st (December 1st for Pre-K) and must be toilet trained if enrolled in the 3, 4, or Pre-K program. All participant information forms will be mailed out in early August and must be turned into the Community Center front desk by Friday, September 4th. Medical forms will be due no later than October 16th.
School Calendar and Payment Schedule
Our preschool runs from Mid-September through May. A detailed calendar will be given out during the first week of school. The registration payment which holds your spot is equal to one month’s tuition and is used to pay the May tuition.

Behavior Policy
To ensure safe and enjoyable programs, activities, and facilities for all residents, the Wauconda Park District has developed the following Code of Conduct. Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times when involved in Park District programs, activities, events, leagues, and while using the Park District Facilities and Parks. 1. Show respect to all participants and staff. 2. Refrain from using foul or obscene language. 3. Refrain from causing bodily harm to participants and staff. 4. Refrain from communicating threats, inappropriate comments, or actions that can be considered as any type of harassment, direct threat or actions that poses a threat by gesture, words, or actions. 5. Exhibit tolerance and courtesies and commonly accepted behavior towards our diverse community. 6. Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. 7. Exhibit good sportsmanship at athletic events whether an active participant or observer. 8. The use, suspected use, or consumption of alcohol or illegal substances on Park District property is prohibited. While alcohol is approved for select special and off property events, it is expected that all residents and participants will exhibit good judgment and moderation when alcohol is consumed. The Wauconda Park District reserves the right to dismiss without refund any participant who violates the behavior policy. In addition, if it is felt that such actions pose a threat to the general safety or welfare of other participants, an individual or group may risk consequences associated with the summoning of the Wauconda Police.
Dog Policy
Dogs are welcome in our parks, however for safety reasons some areas are not acceptable for dogs. Dogs are not allowed during any special event in which there is a high concentration of people in a confined area. Dogs are also not allowed on any play field area. These areas include bleachers, or spectators areas, soccer, baseball, softball fields, dugout areas, court areas, or playgrounds. Please kindly understand and respect this policy.
Photo/Privacy Policy
The Wauconda Park District uses photographs of participants in programs and special events to inform others about the recreational opportunities available in our community. We do not use identification in our brochure without prior consent. If you do not wish to have your picture taken, please inform the photographer. All personal information given to us through registration will be kept confidential. At no time will the WPD give, sell, or release personal information without your prior consent.
Notice to Parents- Drop Off and Pick Up
Attention parents—it is your responsibility to walk your minor child to and from class. Dropping kids off in front of our building is considered a safety issue. If a child is left unattended after a class or activity for a long period of time, we will call the police.
Class Schedules
All classes listed in the brochure have dates that detail when the class will meet. If a class is missed during the scheduled session for instructor illness or other conflict, a “make-up” class will be added to the end of the session or a class will be extended. A note or a call from the park district, or a class announcement will communicate that change to you. We are only closed for major holidays. Again, please refer to the class schedule or call as we do NOT follow the school’s schedule for all classes.

Waiver
The Wauconda Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Wauconda Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for this program/activity must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury, or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity.
Warning of Risk Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity/program. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Participants must understand that certain risks, dangers, and injuries due to acts of god, inclement weather, slipping, falling, equipment failure, failure in supervision, premises defects, and all other circumstances inherent to recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Wauconda Park District to guarantee absolute safety.
Waiver and Release of all Claims and Assumptions of Risk Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in this program/activity, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages, or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with this program/activity (including transportation services, when provided.) I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in this program/activity, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in this program/activity against the Wauconda Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers, and employees (hereinafter collectively referred as “Wauconda Park District”.) I do hereby fully release and forever discharge the Wauconda Park District from any and all claims for injuries, damages, or loss that my minor child/ward or I may have or which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with this program/activity. I have read and fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk, and waiver and release of all claims. If registering a minor participant, I further attest that I have read the above to my minor child/ward.

We remember the days when big banks threatened to charge a fee to speak to a teller. (It’s a threat that still makes headlines from time to time.) We’re bankers—but we’re bank customers too— so we’re not big fans of fees. In fact, we’ve developed something that’s rare these days: a free checking account. We mean it. Free checking and free ATMs. We’re so serious, that our Total Access Account even offers reimbursements for ATM fees charged at machines outside our network. We work hard to provide banking solutions that offer ease, convenience and don’t take advantage of our customers. Do you think that sounds good? Come into the bank and talk with us about it. We won’t even charge you. THAT’S PART OF OUR STORY.
