Toddler Pre-K Programs .Frequently Asked QuestionsHow do I register for a Toddler Pre-K Program? Simply choose the class that is appropriate for the age of your child. If there is room in the class, you will be able to register immediately at the CARD Office at 545 Vallombrosa Ave. (no online registration is available). If the class is full, you will be placed on a waiting list and contacted when an opening becomes available.

How long is the session? This is an ongoing class. Once you are registered, you will remain registered until you notify us that your child will no longer attend. Should you choose not to continue, simply notify the CARD office so we can contact the next person on the waitlist.

How do payments work? The fee for the class is due by the 1st of each month. *If payment is received after the 1st of the month, the fee increases by $10.

Our Time Together: Parent/Child Program:for 18-35 Months OldFall 2014 Begins Wednesday, 9/3 Our Time Together can be an exciting and fun opportunity for your child to improve current skills, learn new skills, make friends, and have fun. This is also an opportunity for us to create a parenting community and share development milestones. During the toddler years, your child will make huge strides physically, intellectually, and emotionally, whether it’s learning to use the potty or stacking blocks.

Something to observe in this program is how your child plays adjacent to other children in the playgroup. This cooperative social interaction is called parallel play and helps children begin language development, build confidence, and form relationships. Your child will increasingly learn to share and become aware of other’s emotions, as well as learn cause and effect through trial and error of adjusting and solving problems in play. Not only are our classes a wonderful bonding opportunity for you and your child, they are an excellent way to meet new friends, introduce your child to other children, and find others that will support you through the exciting adventure of parenthood.

What is the structure of the class? Each day the classroom will be set up with developmentally age appropriate toys and activities that parents can do with their child. The teachers will be there to assist parents and children in participation.

How many teachers are there for the class? We have one teacher for each program. The teacher is hand selected for their experience working with young children. All staff are fingerprinted.

Do I need to stay with my child during class? Yes. This class is formatted as a parent/child class with the goal of giving parents an opportunity to bond, meet other parents that have children the same age as theirs and provide parent support.

Thrive: K-12Learning CenterFall 2014 through Spring 2015Our mission at Thrive is to inspire a life-long love of learning by respecting each person’s individual interests, strengths, and capabilities. It is a place where children are free to learn, inspire, imagine, create, play, and shine!

All sessions will live up to that mission by being a free and open structured environment where children are liberated to choose their level of participation. Session advisors work with the children to create an emergent and free flowing curriculum that derives from the imaginations of the children enrolled.

Learning invitations are presented in an environment that fosters imagination, self- motivation, and meaningful experiences. Books, websites, magazines, nature, music, math concepts, science projects, art projects, building materials, creative play, and idea sharing will spark the imagination.

We strongly encourage families to stay with the same time schedule throughout the year if at all possible. This encourages continuity within the group and fosters strong bonds. Some participants come for all the sessions and others choose to sign up for one or two. Advisors: Cyndi Pereira and Jennifer Anderson.

Kids on CampusAfter School ProgramLooking for a safe, fun and enriching place to send your children after school? If so, CARD’s Kids On Campus After School Program is the place for you! This is not your typical “hang out in the cafeteria program.” In addition to time for homework, arts, crafts, games, free play and a healthy snack, participants are introduced to a variety of enrichment opportunities. This program follows the school calendar. Participants are signed in and out every day. The ratio of staff to children is 1:12, and all staff are CPR and First Aid certified.

Participating Schools: Blue Oak, Chapman, Citrus, Emma Wilson, Hooker Oak, Little Chico Creek, Marigold, McManus, Neal Dow, Parkview, Rosedale, Shasta & Sierra View.

FAQ’s:Q: How do I sign my child up?A:To find out if your child’s school has openings, or to get on the waiting list, contact the CARD office at 895-4711. Many schools have little or no waiting lists; however, CARD recommends you put your child on the waiting list when they are 2 years old to help ensure you will have a spot when they enter school.

Q: Do I have to put my child on the waiting list each year?A: No. Once you put your child on the waiting list, they stay on until they are offered a spot in the program. Please make sure to contact us to update your phone number if it changes.

Q: Does my child have to attend every day?A: No. The program is for your benefit and you may use it as you feel neces-sary. The fee for the program is a flat rate fee. CARD does not prorate for days not attended.

Qi Gong Tai Ji WorkshopQi Gong, a Chinese form of mindful breathing, is the achievement through practice of the skills of breathing and the cultivation of Qi, or internal, functional energy. The word Qi in Chinese also means breath. It is through breathing that relaxation is achieved. Tai Ji Quan utilizes a series of slow movements through which the practitioner becomes balanced, flexible and more responsive while less reactive to external stimuli. Qi Gong and Tai Ji represent a Yin/Yang polarity: stillness within which there is internal movement, and movement within which there is a goal of stillness. This class offers an experiential introduction to these two arts. Instructor: Higgy Lerner, L.Ac. PV Rec Center, Multi-Purpose Room.

League MovementTeams may be subject to move from their league of choice at the discretion of the Recreation Supervisor if it is deemed for the benefit of the CARD softball program. Prior history and records will be considered when it comes to league placement. Spring league champions MAY be moved up to a higher league for the subsequent season if also deemed appropriate and teams who struggle in a given league may also be moved down. Our goal is to facilitate proper league placement over the course of time. While you may not consider yourself a “B” or “C” level team, you may be one of the top teams playing on that evening and it may be necessary that you play in a higher/lower league.
