Early Childhood
Program Guidelines
We strive to provide a wide variety of excellent
Early Childhood Programs. We welcome your
questions, comments, and suggestions for
new classes.
To ensure quality programs, the following
guidelines have been put into place:
• For all non-parent classes, children must be
toilet trained. No diapers or pull-ups, please.
• For parent/tot classes, there will be a
designated area for infants in car seats.
• Due to parent participation in parent/tot
classes, older siblings are not allowed to attend.
• For classes with crafts and painting, we
recommend that participants wear old clothes
or bring a smock.
Register early and avoid cancellations!
Class cancellations are always determined
one week prior to the start of each class.
