Parents invited to learn about Plainfield Park District's Great Adventures Program for Preschoolers

Interested parents can attend one of three FREE information sessions on the Plainfield Park District’s Great Adventures Program for Preschoolers to learn more about the program.

The sessions will take place on February 2 at 7p, February 3 at 10:30a or March 2 at 7p. All sessions will take place at Heritage Professional Center, 24023 W. Lockport St. General information and curriculum content will be shared.

Based on the premise that children learn through play, Great Adventures participants ages 3 to 5 explore, create, discover, problem solve, and communicate to develop age-appropriate skills. Experienced, nurturing staff members implement a progressive program using themes to expose students to colors, shapes, numbers, and letters through a friendly, fun atmosphere. A balance of whole group and small group activities encourage academic and listening skills along with social interaction. Each classroom consists of two instructors and approximately 18 students. All children must be completely toilet trained to participate.

Classes begin in early September and run through mid-May. Morning and afternoon sessions are available and new for 2016 a Monday through Friday session for five year olds. Classes take place at the Heritage Center, 24023 W. Lockport St. in Downtown Plainfield, and at the Streams Recreation Center, 24319 Cedar Creek Ln. in Plainfield.
