Building Blocks and Stepping Stones are fun and nurturing classes for 3, 4, and 5 year-olds to play, learn, grow and socialize at their own pace. The Building Blocks and Stepping Stones part-day preschool programs (classes are M, W, F and meet for less than 3 hours) are designed to meet the academic, social and physical needs of youngsters by providing a stimulating, safe and healthy environment. Lessons are fostered through play at this young age to develop a love of learning. Small classes promote social, emotional, fine and gross motor, cognitive and language development. The positive atmosphere increases self-esteem, creativity, risk taking and problem solving abilities and encourages the development of new ideas and new friends.

Your child will have access to both indoor and outdoor facilities of the Louisville Recreation Center, providing an expanded number of programming options for your child. Our teachers have backgrounds in early childhood or elementary education and experience working in a preschool classroom setting. They are educated professionals who provide a well supervised and stimulating learning environment for your children.

	Other Forms / Materials
	Medications (Prescription or Over the Counter) Use the following forms ONLY if your child will need medication DURING school hours. It is best to arrange to take as many medications at home as possible as we do not have a nurse on staff. One form per medication. No medications in school without correct forms signed by both parent and doctor and medication in the original labeled container (Epi pens may be in their plastic tube with pharmacy label on the outside- this is our preference as it makes them much easier to transport- thank you!). Please make clear to your physician that they are filling out the forms for a lay person (staff member), NOT a nurse. They must be very clear and black and white with their directions as staff are not able to make any medical decisions. Please read each explanation to make sure you fill out the correct form. Severe Allergy Epi Administration is used for severe allergies and Epi Pens Inhaled Medication Administration is used for any inhaled medications to include albuterol inhalers Medication Administration is used for all general medications Exemption for Medication is used if your child has a noted medical condition, but you choose not to send any medications to camp
