Registration Information
1. Resident Registration Only
Walk-in resident registration will take place on Saturday, Aug. 3
from 8:00 am-4:00 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 Aug. 3.
Countryside residents may also register beginning Aug. 3.
2. Non-Resident Registration
Individuals residing outside of the Park District boundaries
may register starting at 8 a.m. Monday, Aug. 12. This includes
Neighborhood Network residents.
3. Online Registration
The Park District of La Grange 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 walk-in registration;
neither procedure has priority over the other. Online registration
is available 24/7 once registration begins for the season. A nonrefundable $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 filled on a first come, first 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 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 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 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.
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, 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.
12. Co-op Programming
If the graphic symbol q 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 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.
8. Insufficient Funds Fee:
Why are there initials next to the programs?

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 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 occur. Our teaching staff creates and implements lesson plans based on Illinois Early Learning
Standards.
Goals and Objectives
Our 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.
• Establish routines, patterns and sharing behavior.
• Provide a fun, happy and safe environment for all participants.
• Learn correct use, respect and responsibility for materials and equipment.
• Develop respect for others.
• Learn problem-solving skills.
• Explore the surrounding environment.
We have a variety of play areas and materials to help us accomplish these objectives. A child’s first social experience should be positive and
enjoyable. Our Learning Ladders Preschool is a happy and safe place for these first 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.

Early Childhood Program Requirements
• Children must be the correct age by the first day the program meets, unless otherwise specified. 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.
Note: the park district staff does not change diapers, the parents will be contacted in the case of an accident.

Tibetan Singing Bowl Concert (LG)
Singing bowls are a beautiful and powerful mystery. The bowls produce the sounds of AUM and HU, the “sounds” of energy becoming
matter. The bowls make an excellent tool for meditation, centering and
relieves stress. The Bowls used are over 100 years old and made up of
an alloy of 7 metals! The vibration of the singing bowls synchronizes
with brain waves and creates a therapeutic effect upon the mind/body
by entraining the brain to move into Alpha & Theta states. When the
brain goes into this state, the heart rate slows, the blood pressure normalizes, and tension melts away creating an opportunity for the body
to “heal” itself. You will be laying on the floor for approx, one hour, so
please bring, mat, pillows and or blanket (or all) for comfort. It is suggested not to eat right before this energy work, or eat very lightly.

Gong Meditation (LG) NEW!
Discover the unique spiritual resonance and healing abilities of the
Earth Gong and Tibetan singing Bowls. This event is sometimes called
a “Sound Bath” or “Gong Bath” because you are bathed in sound and
vibration, while remaining fully clothed, lying on the floor. The vibrations of the Earth Gong coaxes the brain into Alpha and/or Theta
states, resulting in the autonomic nervous system switching to parasympathetic dominance. When the brain goes into Alpha or Theta state, it
slows the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, releases stored tension and
toxins and more. It feels great! This is the perfect opportunity to meditate, contemplate or just relax and let yourself be energetically cleansed.

As men age, physiological changes manifest themselves as less flexibility overall, muscular atrophy and, inevitably, weight gain. These
physiological changes in turn affect how we view ourselves. To ward off
the effects of aging, yoga for men is essential in the arsenal of physical
fitness that every man should be performing. With the combination of
Vinyasa Flow Yoga for creating heat within the body, Hatha Yoga for
creating strength and body awareness, and Yin Yoga for lower body
flexibility and opening, men can reclaim their flexibility, strength and
vitality. More importantly, we can change how we feel about ourselves
and life in general. Prior Yoga recommended, but newcomers are most
welcome. Bring a yoga mat and wear a loose shirt and shorts.

Medical Jujitsu for Seniors (KM) NEW!
Why martial arts for seniors? What a great concept. Healthy living,
healthy aging, and living longer; as we grow older we find ourselves
limited by the years of wear and tear and the pain associated with
it. Simple answer: reversing or slowing the effects of age and pain, in
addition to acquiring the benefits 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 flexible
art.” The “gentleness” of the art is expressed in the execution of the
techniques, and is not reflected in the effect upon the attacker, except
at the discretion of the person executing the technique. Using the
technique, a person may either control an attacker with a minimum
amount of pain (neutralization) or use a technique designed to produce
a great deal of pain.

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.
74
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.
• 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 q 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 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. The Park District’s
policy is to reasonably accommodate all qualified 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) 3521762 or by writing to 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

Inclusive Recreation Programs
In a continuing effort to meet the needs of residents with special needs,
SEASPAR and the Park District of La Grange provide inclusive
recreation services. This means that individuals with disabilities
participate in programs offered by the Park District.
This inclusive recreation environment provides residents with
disabilities greater choices for their leisure time and allows all residents
to learn about one another as they participate together.

interests so that we can provide the support necessary for successful
inclusion. By communicating your needs, the Park District and
SEASPAR can be prepared to provide you with appropriate services.
