Director’s Message
I am very excited to be here and so thrilled to be leading the efforts of the many passionate and talented staff members in a city filled with such great people. The welcoming atmosphere these first few months from everyone has been very special; and with my commitment to this City, I can only try to return the favor.
Over my first few months I have talked with many of you. I have attended every event so far to help me experience Eagan. This city has wonderful amenities, but it is not a surprise knowing our aging infrastructure will need attention soon. Visioning and planning for park and recreation never rests. We are all benefiting from work completed 20 years ago, and what we do today impacts the next 20+ years of Eagan residents.
Quality, exciting, dynamic, and invigorating programs and parks helps prevent so many community challenges. I got into this field because I enjoy working with communities; and I look forward to meeting more of the residents of this wonderful community and learning more where we can make an impact!

hayride and outdoor activities. Kids are invited to write a letter to
Santa at home and bring it to the celebration as Santa and his live
reindeer will be available for

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.
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 2017.
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.

Program Cancellations/Changes
• Registration fees for programs cancelled by Eagan Parks & Recreation will be fully
refunded.
• Programs may be cancelled by Eagan Parks & Recreation if enrollment is not sufficient
to provide an appropriate program experience to participants.
• Once a program is cancelled, every attempt will be made to give at least 48 hours
notice to registrants.
Refunds
• If a participant cancels a registration before the registration deadline, a full refund will
be processed.
• Refunds after the registration deadline will only be made due to prolonged illness or

Equal Access Policy
The City of Eagan is committed to providing equal access to its programs, facilities and
employment without regard to race, creed, color, sex, national origin or disability.
Auxiliary aids for persons with disabilities wishing to attend or participate in the City of
Eagan recreation programs are available upon request at least 96 hours in advance of the
event. If a notice of less than 96 hours is received, the City will make every attempt to
provide reasonable accommodations.
Data Privacy Act
In accordance with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, the Parks & Recreation
Department hereby informs participants that the personal information requested on the
registration form is considered private. Private data is available to the participant and to
City staff who need to have this information to perform their duties, but not to the public.
While participants may choose to withhold this data, the consequences could be that the
City’s staff may not be able to complete the registration and/or the participant may not
receive updated program information, such as schedule changes.
Eagan Parks & Recreation periodically takes pictures of participants in classes, during
special events and in the parks. Please be aware that these photos may be used in the
City’s brochures, pamphlets, or cable presentations. If a participant does not want to be
photographed or published written notice must be provided.
