Welcome to Preschool The City of Eagan Parks & Recreation Department welcomes you and your preschooler to a wide selection of quality preschool programs. Eagan Parks & Recreation preschool program’s focus is on the social development of children ages two through five years old. Participants will benefit by developing their social skills through play, art, projects, stories, songs, games, and outside play. Participants will also have the opportunity to develop their independence, self-help and 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 and new opportunities for all participants. Each year new classes 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 2016. 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 photo by Ken Cheung 13 Eagan Parks & Recreation • (651) 675-5500 • www.cityofeagan.com P r e s c h o o l Time Payments Schedule and Scholarship Information Time Payments (3 installment payments) for Fun with 3’s, Tiny Tots, Just for 5’s, Wacky Wednesdays, Friday Friends, SIP for preschoolers and Let’s Play!

USTA (United States Tennis Association) created the QuickStart format to cater directly to younger beginning tennis 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. The lessons are broken down into two one-week sessions. Registrants are required to sign up for Session I before signing up for Session II in order to get the best possible experience. The two sessions do not have to be taken consecutively. Juniors Tennis Lessons Ages 10-12 Junior Tennis lessons are geared towards pre-teens with little or no tennis experience. Lessons provide an opportunity to develop and practice basic tennis skills. Youth will practice a new skill each day, learn correct techniques for various skills, review a previously learned skill and participate in games to help reinforce skills taught.
