Your three and/or four year olds will enjoy a variety of activities just like the big campers; stories, singing, crafts, field trips around town, pool days (on full day registrations only), and individual and small group play. Campers can come for either a half-day; 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon or a full day; 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. as few as one day a week or as many as five days a week. Lunch will be provided to campers who attend a full day.

Fun Time Junction will be open daily at 7:00 a.m. and will close at 5:30 p.m. to further accommodate your child care needs. Three, four and five year olds can participate in preschool swim lessons if they attend Monday through Friday (see information below). Our staff will walk your child to and from swim lessons daily. There is a separate fee to attend swim lessons.

The STATE OF ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES CERTIFICATE OF CHILD HEALTH EXAMINATION, available above, is the required immunization form (and checklist) for all programs licensed by DCFS. Although this form is not due to us until your child’s preschool orientation in September of 2008, we thought the sooner you receive it, the better because it provides you with more time to schedule a doctor appointment for your child. Please note that TB and lead screening assessments are required for all children enrolled in DCFS licensed programs. You are required to have your child’s doctor note on the immunization form or on his/her letterhead that your child has been assessed for lead and TB. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Sophia Garcia-Smith, Early Childhood Director, at (630) 834-8970 or e-mail sophie@vprd.org. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
