1. RESIDENT REGISTRATION ONLY Walk-in resident registration will take place on Saturday, April 26 from 8:00
am-6:00 pm at the Recreation Center, 536 East Avenue, and continues thereafter during regular offi ce hours. Residents can only register their own family during resident registration on April 26 . Countryside residents may also register beginning April 26 .
2. NON-RESIDENT REGISTRATION Individuals residing outside of the Park District boundaries may register
starting at 8 a.m. Monday, May 2. This includes Neighborhood Network residents.
3. ONLINE REGISTRATION The Park District of La Grange off ers 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 walk-in 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. Register online at www.pdlg.org.
4. FIRST COME FIRST SERVED All programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment and will be fi lled
on a fi rst come, fi rst served basis.
5. PROGRAM WAITING LISTS Maximum enrollments for programs ensure quality and safety for you and
your children. In the past, we made every eff ort 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 fi nd another way to spend their time), and the diffi culty related to fi nding qualifi ed instructors in a short period of time.
For this 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. This change helps eliminate last minute decisions regarding program and waiting list status.
6. 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.
7. REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION Refunds will not be issued after the fi rst class date and must be requested
no less than 5 days before the fi rst class meeting. A prorated refund will be issued in cases when the Park District receives a written certifi cate 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 certifi cate 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.
8. INSUFFICIENT 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.
9. FEE CODE The fee code used in this brochure is as follows: (R) Residents of La Grange & Countryside (NR) Non-Resident (NN) Neighborhood Network
10. PROOF OF RESIDENCY Proof of La Grange or Countryside 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.
11. NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK (NN) All communities that border La Grange which include Western Springs,
La Grange Park, Brookfi eld, 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.
12. CO-OP PROGRAMMING If the graphic symbol appears next to a program title it is a co-op
and resident rate applies for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held. Co-op codes: LP-La Grange Park, WS-Western Springs,
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
participants age 3 and under.
15. PAYMENT/ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION When in doubt, call the Park District offi ce 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.
19. FEES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
20. ADA ACCOMODATIONS A request for ADA accommodations or assistance at a program is required
at the time of registration. This includes, but is not limited to, inclusion aides, sign language interpreters, adaptive equipment, and accessible transportation. Early registration, along with a request for accommodation, is strongly suggested in order that appropriate accommodations are secured prior to the start of the program. At least two weeks is needed to have accommodations in place. It may not be possible for the participant to attend the program until accommodation needs are met.

REGISTRATIONWhere: Recreation Center located at 536 East Avenue
When: Resident registration began on Monday, February 3, 2014.
Non-Resident registration began on Monday, February 10, 2014.
A non-refundable $75 deposit is required at registration. Registration
continues until a class has reached its maximum enrollment. If a class has
not reached the minimum by Friday, August 22nd, 2014 it will be cancelled.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVESOur primary goal at Learning Ladders is that children learn through socialization and play based activities. Our secondary goal is that children
are exposed to reading readiness skills, ABCs, 123s, shapes and colors.
• Develop a sense of security in group situations. • Develop respect for others.
• Establish routines, patterns and sharing behavior. • Learn problem-solving skills.
• Learn correct use, respect and responsibility for materials and equipment. • Explore the surrounding environment.
• Provide a fun, happy and safe environment for all participants.
We have a variety of play areas and materials to help us accomplish these objectives. A child’s fi rst social experience should be positive and
enjoyable. Our Learning Ladders Preschool is a happy and safe place for these fi rst experiences to begin. If you have any questions or concerns
regarding the program at any time, please contact Diana Faught, Early Childhood Supervisor, at (708) 352-1762.
PROGRAM PHILOSOPHYLearning Ladders is a recreation program that 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
are made. Through play, children learn to communicate with 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.

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS• Children must be the correct age by the fi rst day the
program meets, unless otherwise specifi ed. 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 class-
room or gymnasium after dropping off their child. This
is in the child’s best interest, as continual interruptions
tend to aff ect 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
specifi c 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 par-
ticipants is required for all Park District programs.
Note: the park district staff does not change diapers,
the parents will be contacted in the case of an accident.

addition to acquiring the benefi ts of self-defense and self-protection,
Danzan Ryu Jujitsu is a Japanese Martial Art developed in Hawaii,
when translated into English, jujitsu means gentle, pliable, or fl ex-
ible art. The gentleness of the art is expressed in the execution of
the techniques, and is not refl ected in the eff ect upon the attacker,

GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATIONThe Park District of La Grange is committed to conducting its
recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and
holds the safety of participants in the highest regard. 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.

3. No driving or parking of cars, motorcycles or snowmobiles are

except by the police. This includes slingshots, pellet guns or guns

7. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted. Exceptions apply to lighted areas (i.e. courts, fi elds, etc.)

PROGRAM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCEThe 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 Offi ce at 536 East
Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.
CO-OP PROGRAMMINGIf the graphic symbol appears next to a program title, it is
a CO-OP, 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 off er 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 off er a program. Reason #3 is that both agencies can
increase the variety of programs off ered 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. The Park District’s policy is to reasonably accommodate all qualifi ed program applicants in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We welcome the questions, comments and concerns of interested community members regarding District ADA compliance.
To arrange for auxiliary aids or accommodations enabling individuals with disabilities to participate in Park District public meetings, or to request publications in a special format (such as audiocassette or large print), contact the Superintendent of Recreation by calling (708) 352-1762 or by writing to 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.
LATE PICK-UP POLICYThe Park District of La Grange staff will supervise children who
are left beyond the scheduled time until a parent or other
authorized adult on the pick-up list arrives. However, late pick-
ups will result in a fee. Payment of the late fee is to be paid at the
Recreation Center located at 536 East Avenue BEFORE your child
can attend the next day of camp/class. If you have any questions,
please call Laura Gallagher at 352-1762.
1-15 minutes late = $5.00
Every minute after that = $1.00
