PRESCHOOL 2019 - 2020 School Year
Keppler Academy Introduction & Philosophy
The West Chicago Park District’s Keppler Academy Preschool focuses on the developmental needs of children from three to five years old. Keppler Academy is designed to give children the tools and experiences necessary to assure a positive transition to kindergarten. Our program offers a warm, nurturing, and friendly environment where children can explore, create, and flourish. Socialization skills and independence are developed through a variety of daily skills and exercises. Our philosophy is that all children learn through hands-on experiences, exploration, and positive interactions with others. Every child is unique and will develop at their own pace. We foster an environment that will help all children succeed emotionally, physically, and socially. Every child has their own learning style and we give many options to explore and build on those abilities. (GR)

YOUTH PROGRAMS Root Beer Rocks! Brewing homemade root beer is a ridiculously fun and tasty way to introduce early chemistry teachings to children! Kids can become a history and science expert on this beloved bubbly drink as we produce a batch of root beer. Next, the class will cast their vote for BEST ROOT BEER IN TOWN as they taste test a flight of 5 different unidentified sumptuous foamy brands. Finally, kids will complete their experience by preparing their own customized “black cow” (root beer float)! This is a child’s dream class and all about putting the fun back into learning.

Demystifying Clique Chaos Life Coaching for Kids Cliques are EVERYWHERE. This class is for BOTH girls and boys….cliques can occur with either gender! How do we “fit in” when social popularity or sports cliques form? It is a horrible feeling……UNLESS your child has a self-esteem muscle developed. If they do already, we will build on that, and if they don’t, we will learn the first steps in pumping it up. While this is a serious subject, the content is presented in a high energy and motivating manner with hilarious games like: Collapsing Caitlin the Clicker, Bananas in the Lunch Room, Crickets at Night, Wet N Wild, Bubble Soccer Bobby, and more!

Enjoy the healing benefits of Yin Yoga for both the mind and the body. This style of yoga is a more meditative approach with a physical focus that goes much deeper to access the deep connective tissues within the body that encompass a joint, such as the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Yin Yoga postures are done mainly on the floor, and are unique in that you are asked to relax in the posture, soften the muscles and focus on the breath as you hold each posture for several minutes. As one ages, flexibility in the joints decreases, and Yin Yoga is a wonderful way to maintain that flexibility and live a healthy way of life. (KK)

Warning of Risk Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental, and emotional resources of each participant. 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. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the activity, certain risks, dangers, and injuries can occur due to inclement weather, slips and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities. The West Chicago Park District is committed to conducting all recreation programs and activities in a safe manner. We continually strive to reduce such risks and insist that all participants follow safety rules and instructions. However, it is impossible for the West Chicago Park District to guarantee absolute safety.
Program Waiver and Requirements For insurance purposes, participation in West Chicago Park District programs requires a signed waiver. The waiver and Release form must be signed by the participant if 18 years of age or older; or by a parent/guardian if under the age of 18. Individuals who refuse to sign the Waiver and Release form will not be allowed to participate in District programs.
