Resident Registration Only Walk-in resident registration will take place on Saturday, April 16 from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm at the Recreation Center, 536 East Avenue, and continues thereafter during regular office hours. Residents can only register their own family during resident registration on April 16. 2 . Non-Resident Registration Individuals residing outside of the Park District boundaries may register starting at 8 a.m. Monday, April 25. Th is includes Neighborhood Network residents. 3. Online Registration The Park District of La Grange now offers online registration. Come in to the Recreation Center to complete an online registration form to receive the required user name and password for online access. Online registration runs simultaneously to walkin registration; neither procedure has priority over the other. Online registration is available 24/7 once registration begins for the season. A non-refundable $2 administration fee applies to online registration transactions. 4. Summer Camps - Early Registration Registration for summer camps for both residents and non-residents started February 1. 5. First Come First Served All programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment and will be filled on a first come, first served basis. 6. Program Waiting Lists Maximum enrollments for programs ensure quality and safety for you and your children. In the past, we made every effort to accommodate as many residents as possible without negatively impacting the programs. This has led to disappointment and frustration for all involved due to problems in timing (those on the waiting lists would find another way to spend their time), and the difficulty related to finding qualified instructors in a short period of time. For the current program season, waiting lists will be unlimited. This list will be taken to allow for dropouts and cancellations prior to the start of a program. Our deadline for requesting refunds is 5 days before the start of class. Th is change helps eliminate last minute decisions regarding program and waiting list status. 7. False Information/Resident Priority Persons failing to indicate Non-Resident status, or registering Non-Residents as Park District Residents will be dropped from the program without refund. 8. Refunds and Cancellation Refunds will not be issued after the first class date and must be requested no less than 5 days before the first class meeting. A prorated refund will be issued in cases when the Park District receives a written certificate from a physician that a medical condition exists that prohibits participation. The medical note must be received no later than 14 days after the session end date. A prorated refund may also be issued if the registrant moves outside of the District boundaries. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds over $5, except when a medical certificate is presented in writing, or the District cancels a program. If the Park District cancels a program, participants will have a choice of full refund, credit or class transfer, if available. 9. Insuffici ent Funds Fee: In the event that a program is paid for by check, and that check is returned to the District stamped N.S.F., full payment as well as a $20.00 penalty will be required in cash or cashiers check before attendance in a class can continue. 10. Fee Code The fee code used in this brochure is as follows: (R) Resident of Park District of La Grange (NR) Non-Resident (NN) Neighborhood Network 11. Proof of Residency Proof of La Grange residency is required to qualify for resident rates for program registrations, usage passes and facility rentals. A driver’s license, state ID or utility bill is acceptable. This policy assures the lowest fees for La Grange residents. 12. Neighborhood Network (NN) All communities that border La Grange which include Western Springs, La Grange Park, Countryside, Brookfield, La Grange Highlands, and McCook will be charged only 10% more than resident rate for all programs. Proof of residency is required. For all co-op programs, non-residents from the co-op district will get the resident rate. 13. Senior Discount Seniors age 55+ receive a 10% discount for most PDLG programs for adults. 14. Proof of Age The Park District of La Grange reserves the right to require proof of age for any/all participants. 15. Payment/Enrollment Verification When in doubt, call the Park District office at (708) 352-1762. 16. Assessment Description You will be assessed a $5 registration fee when signing up for programs. This fee is charged only once per household per season for registrations of $20 and over. If after your initial registration you decide to enroll in more programs during the same program season, simply alert us to that fact when you register. The assessment fee does not apply to online registrations. Collecting this fee allows the Park District to meets its costs without raising fees for every program. 17. Payment Methods Payment methods accepted are: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash and check. Driver’s license required for checks. 18. Register Early! Classes subject to cancellation if they do not meet minimum enrollments a week before class starts, unless otherwise noted. Why are there initials next to the programs (LG-Laura Gallagher, DF-Diana Faught, KM-Kevin Miller)? They represent the staff member responsible for that program. This will help you connect with the right person to answer your questions. 4 Park District of La Grange | Summer 2011 RENTAL INFORMATION The Recreation Center has a variety of rooms and amenities available to rent for your special event.

Program Philosophy Learning Ladders has been designed to meet the physical, social, intellectual, and creative needs of children ages 2 1/2 to 5. It is based on the premise that children learn through play. Play serves as a “child’s work”, a time when new discoveries and friendships dships are made. Through play, children learn to communicate with ith words, express feelings, explore, create, problem solve, make decisions, and much, much more. In addition to creative free play there will be a balance of teacher directed group activities as well. Introduction and exposure to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other beginning concepts occurs. Our teaching staff creates and implements lesson plans based on Illinois Early Learning Standards.

In order to provide your child with the best possible recreational and/or learning experience, all of our programs are planned according to the ages listed in our brochure. • Classes are for child attending only, except for classes with an adult. Parents should not remain in the classroom or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions tend to affect participant’s attention span and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships. • Please do not bring food to any class, unless previously arranged. • For your children’s safety, all children enrolled in preschool age programs must be picked up from the specific classroom or program site by their parents or designated guardian. No child will be released from the classroom to anyone other than these individuals. • A mandatory sign in and sign out procedure for all participants is required for all Park District programs.

Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. The Park District of La Grange continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participant’s safety. Please recognize that the Park District of La Grange does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive; therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own medical insurance policy for coverage. It must also be noted that the absence of medical insurance coverage does not make the Park District of La Grange automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses. The Park District of La Grange requires that all program participants or legal guardians sign a Liability Waiver and Release form at the time of registration. This form must be signed prior to participation in any Park District program. Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated. Park Usage Rules For your Safety and Protection....CERTAIN LOCAL RULES ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS SO THAT ALL MAY ENJOY THE PARKS SAFELY. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING RULES. 1. No dogs are allowed in the parks. 2. No alcoholic beverages are allowed in any park areas. 3. No driving or parking of cars, motorcycles or snowmobiles are allowed in any grass area or sportsfield. 4. No weapons of any type may be carried by anyone in the park except by the police. This includes slingshots, pellet guns or guns which are in a case. 5. No smoking within any Park District buildings. 6. No golfing in the parks. Youth Golf Program participants are exempt from this rule during scheduled golf lessons. 7. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted. Exceptions apply to lighted areas (i.e. courts, fields, etc.) Program Code of Conduct To ensure enjoyable and safe programs for all participants, the Park District of La Grange has developed a behavior code. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff. • Refrain from using foul language. • Refrain from causing bodily harm. 68 Park District of La Grange | Summer 2011 • Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities. Additional rules are developed for specific programs as deemed necessary by staff. Program Financial Assistance The Financial Assistance Policy of the Park District of La Grange is established to provide a fair and equitable system through which District residents may take part in recreation programs when they are unable to pay the required fees. Partial program fee waivers may be granted for Park District of La Grange residents for certain programs. Any family who would like to see if they are eligible for a scholarship may obtain an application from the Park District of La Grange Administration Office at 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525. CO-OP Programming If the graphic symbol T appears next to a program title, it is a COOP, and resident rates apply for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held. There are three reasons why park districts and recreation departments typically offer programs in cooperation with another agency. Reason #1 is because individually each agency does not have the population base to support a program. Reason #2 is that one of the agencies does not have the facility to offer a program. Reason #3 is that both agencies can increase the variety of programs offered to their residents. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) The Park District of La Grange is committed to accessibility for individuals with disabilities and strives to provide equal, integrated participation in all programs, activities and services.
