Welcome to Preschool The City of Eagan Parks & Recreation Department welcomes you and your preschooler to a wide selection of quality preschool programs. Eagan Preschool Program’s focus is on the social development of children ages one through five years old. Participants will benefit by developing their social skills through play, art projects, stories, songs, games and outside play. Participants also have the opportunity to develop their independence, self-help, sharing skills and learn to follow directions. Teachers are experienced instructors committed to offering your preschooler a positive experience and providing support for your child’s first school years. The program has been serving the community since 1978 and continues to provide quality programs to the community and over 30 years of experience opportunities for all participants. Each year new classes and sessions begin in January, March, June and September. Eagan Parks & Recreation uses the following guide lines to define who is a preschooler for participation in our programs: • Children who are the appropriate age on or before the first day of class. • Children who are completely toilet trained and independent in the bathroom. • Children are required to wear underwear; pull-up type diapers are not allowed. • Toilet training is not required for children registered in parent/child classes. • Bright Beginnings and Let’s Play! Music Together classes are for children who are the age stated in the class and accompanied by an adult. Additional siblings are welcome, when age appropriate and additional fees paid as listed in the program. • Just for 5’s (and some 4’s, too!) class is for children who are the appropriate age to enter kindergarten in the fall of 2014. Please note: Due to the popularity of our preschool program, classes tend to fill up quickly. Wait lists will be maintained in a manner that accommodates participants new to the program. Participants enrolled in more than one preschool class per session may experience programming duplication between classes. photo by Amy Brosam Discover • Experience • Grow 12 Pr e s c h o o l Time Payments Schedule and Scholarship Information Spring and Summer Time Payments (3 installment payments) for Fun with 3’s, Tiny Tots, Just for 5’s, Wacky Wednesdays, Summer in the Park for Preschool and Friday Friends classes are available to participants through mail or in-person registration only.

There is no better time to start playing tennis than now! QuickStart tennis is a new and exciting format for learning the game of tennis. The goal of the QuickStart Lessons is for kids ages 5-10 to build skills that enable kids to rally with a partner. USTA (United States Tennis Association) created the QuickStart format to cater directly to younger beginning tennis players. To make it easier for the youngsters to learn, the QuickStart tennis format changed the net size, the court size, the balls, the rackets and even the scoring system to make it easier for younger players. The program is designed to help children succeed but also focuses on having fun through games, relays and instruction. Participants are asked to wear tennis shoes, bring their racket and a water bottle. A limited number of rackets will be available for those without one. New this year, the lessons will be broken down into two one-week sessions. Registrants are encouraged to sign up for both Session I and Session II to get the best possible experience. The two sessions do not have to be taken consecutively, but must take Session I before Session II. Juniors Tennis Lessons Ages 10-12 Junior Tennis lessons are geared towards pre-teens with little or no experience. Lessons provide an opportunity to develop and practice basic skills. Youth will practice a new skill each day, learn correct techniques, review a previously learned skill and participate in games to help reinforce skills taught. Wear appropriate clothing, bring water and a racket. Make Ups: One day is scheduled for each week in case of class cancellation. 10:00 a.m. lessons will be made up at 2:00 p.m. on the Friday of that week. 11:00 a.m. lessons will be made up at 3:00 p.m. on the Friday of that week.
