Did you know that not all City of Joliet residents are Joliet Park District residents? Based on formal action by the Joliet Park District Board of Commissioners, a Joliet Park District resident is described as a person whose legal domicile is within the boundaries of the District. Residency is the principal place of habitation of the individual occupying the home, apartment, condominium or estate. It shall be the principal yearly residence for the family residing at the location. The resident must be able to produce a valid driver’s license and a current property tax bill or utility bill verifying residency at that location. Individuals who own rental property that is occupied by others may not be considered Joliet Park District residents. However, individuals who reside in rental property within the Park District boundaries are considered Park District residents. Who Needs a Resident Discount Card? Resident Discount Cards are issued to Joliet Park District residents only and are mandatory for all residents six years and older who wish to take advantage of lower, resident rates for programs and services. If a parent is registering a child under the age of six for a program, the parent must have a valid Resident Discount Card. Where Do I Obtain a Resident Discount Card?

The preschool program has been in existence for over 30 years and started as a one classroom play program in the old Inwood Recreation building above the swimming locker rooms. Today the Learning Center has openings for students in 12 different classrooms that attend either a 2-day, 3-day or 5day program in the morning, afternoon, or evening in the Multi-Purpose Building.

In the classroom many different opportunities for learning are provided using center based exploration, sensory tubs, developmentally appropriate literacy and math lessons, props, and manipulatives. In addition each classroom has physical education and music instruction. Our Learning Center uses the “Handwriting Without Tears” method for teaching pre-writing and printing skills. Computer time is also available that helps reinforce colors, shapes, patterns, and letter recognition through the use of the mouse and keyboard. Family Involvement & Community Events We also include the family in many events. We have music presentations in Fall, Winter and in February. Both the 3’s and 4’s, according to the Early Learning Standards, are involved with Kris Kringle, Science Fair, Family Picnic, Grandparents For the child who misses the September 1st birth date deadline for entering Illinois Elementary schools, we offer the Flying Solo Learning program that allows children, who turn 3 years old after September 1st, and are ready to begin a preschool program, to attend an extended program available during the day and evening hours. We also have available Meeting the Challenge, an opportunity for children to attend a preschool program for 1 day only and in a mixed age group setting.

We will offer the experiences typically found in child-centered learning centers; however, what is special about Little Sprouts is that these experiences will be focused through daily interaction with nature, animals and plant life. Research has found that children who spend more time in nature pay attention better, think more clearly, and are able to cope more effectively with stress. The nature curriculum is based on seasonal changes. Topics reflect current events in the natural world and provide the basis for daily outdoor discovery plus: • Creative arts • Natural science exploration • Construction play • Large & small motor skill development • Math & manipulative activities • Language experiences Little Sprouts is more appropriate for children whose families are looking for discovery-based learning rather than traditional lessons that are scheduled and confined by curriculum objectives. Natural themes and materials are incorporated throughout indoor and outdoor activities. “Children who do not experience nature won’t grow up to cherish or protect it.” Arts & Leisure Hartman Recreation Center 511 N.
