My name is Angela LoGalbo Foll and I am very excited to join Lakeshore Sport and Fitness as the Pee
Wee Program Director. Prior to working at Lakeshore I taught for five years at Immaculate Conception
School in Chicago. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor Degree in Education
and hold an Illinois teaching certificate. During my time as a teacher, I coached basketball and cross-
country. In addition, I developed several programs for children including a fine arts program and
summer camp.
We have many new and exciting changes in place for the summer session. Please take the time to read
through all of the attached information to become familiar with the new policies and programming to
start in the summer. As an overview, the Pee Wee Program is going to provide many opportunities for
growth and learning in accordance with our new philosophy, which is included in our attached Parent
Handbook. Each day will provide an opportunity for learning time. During this time, students will
explore fine art, music, Spanish, drama, dance, as well as literature and math activities to prepare for
kindergarten. The children will also spend time everyday exploring and playing in learning centers.
Finally, students will swim everyday and have outside playtime weather permitting. This approach will
help your child grow and learn in a creative and supportive setting.
I look forward to meeting everyone and getting to know you and your family. I will work with you in
any way that I can to make the transition to our program an enjoyable one for your child. I am
dedicated to education and want to help your child develop a lifelong passion for learning.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns about the program.
Sincerely,
Angela LoGalbo Foll

General Information
Philosophy
Our philosophy is to provide creative learning experiences for young children. Daily schedules will
provide opportunities for children to explore fine art, music, foreign language skills, gross motor
activities, imaginative play, and literature and math experiences to prepare for kindergarten. Young
children learn in unique ways, which is why we believe in providing a variety of learning opportunities
early on. We believe in the creative process and want children to grow and flourish in that setting. We
believe in helping the child grow as a whole person.
Discipline Policy
The Pee Wee Program follows a positive reinforcement system. This system allows children to feel
proud of their accomplishments and learn new ways to interact and communicate with others. If a
child needs time away from his or her peers, the child will always be accompanied by a caring staff
member. Children will never be placed in “time-out” or left alone.
Classroom Information
What to Bring
Each child should bring a back-pack that they can carry each day. The back-pack should include a swim
suit, diapers/swim diapers, wipes, and a spare change of clothes. If your child needs a Sippy cup for
snack time, please send one. All items MUST be labeled. Please limit any excess belongings. The Pee
Wee Program is not responsible for lost or misplaced items.
What to Wear
Children should wear comfortable play clothes. Please pay close attention to the weather, as outdoor
play is included in the daily schedule. Children should wear gym shoes or other comfortable shoes that
are easy to take on and off. Crocs and flip flops are not allowed.
We will only release your child to people on the authorized pick-up list. Everyone on the list should be
aware that they will need to present ID for pick-up.
The morning is a very important time for children to develop routines. Please be sure to drop off your
child at our start time so they can take advantage of center time. Additionally, when your child arrives,
please help them hang up their backpack and then allow them to join an activity during center time.
We understand that some children will have difficulty with acclimating to the new environment. Our
staff is prepared and trained for such instances. You are more than welcome to stay and observe while
they begin center time.
Parents who would like to take advantage of Lakeshore’s fitness classes that start at 8:45 have the
option of bringing their child to the Playroom for the 15 minute interim. Parents will be responsible for
the costs associated with using the Playroom. A member of the Pee Wee Program staff will pick up
your child from the Playroom so that you will not have to leave your fitness class. Parents will be
required to sign-in their child in the Pee Wee room prior to the start of the fitness class.
Health
Snacks
We will offer a variety of snacks each day. Please do not send food with your child. This is for the safety
of all children, in case of food allergies. If your child needs a Sippy cup for drinking, please send one
each day. If your child has special food requirements, please inform the Program Director before
their first day in the program.
Sick Policy
It is the goal of the Pee Wee Program to provide a safe and healthy environment for your child. While
we pride ourselves on adhering to proper hand washing and sanitizing procedures, germs are still
spread. With the help of parents keeping their sick children at home, we can help prevent the spread
of even more germs and illnesses in our program.
When is your child too sick to attend The Pee Wee Program? When they are displaying one of the
following symptoms:
Fever
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Undiagnosed rash
Red eyes with discharge
Nose with colored discharge that requires constant wiping
Cannot participate in daily lessons and activities of the program
If your child develops any of these symptoms during attendance at The Pee Wee Program, you will be
contacted and asked to pick up your child immediately. If you cannot be reached within one hour, we
will call one of the approved contacts. Your child may return to our program when she or he is
symptom free for 24 hours or has received treatment for the appropriate time determined by your
child’s pediatrician.
All medicine must be properly signed in on the medication form in order to be dispensed. Failure to
properly sign in medicine will force our staff NOT to dispense the medicine to your child. Please write
your child’s name, prescription name, dosage, time to be given, and your signature on the medication
form each day. Please take all medicines home at the end of the day.

Payment Policy

Arctic Adventures!
Even though it is summer, we will be feeling chilly this week! We will venture into the
world of polar bears and penguins! In science, we will learn all about the animals in
Antarctica and how they stay warm. In math we will work with “snow” to trace
numbers! During art we will experiment with water colors. Children’s books for the
week will include Lost and Found and Antarctica.
Plant Power!
We will spend the week exploring all of the beautiful and interesting plants around the
world! In science, we will plant our own mini garden. In math, we will learn more about
sorting by organizing flowers by color. Painting will be the main focus during art this
week. Children’s books for the week will include We Planted a Tree and Plants.
Center time is a very important part of early childhood education. All children will start
their day at a center. All staff members will be on hand to engage children and help
them decide which activity to do at their chosen center. A description of each center
is listed below as well as the skills that will be attained in each center.
Sensory Center: This center will include our sensory table. The table traditionally holds
sand and water to explore. However, as the weekly themes change, the table will
include items that coordinate with the theme and allow for further discovery.
Imaginative Play Center: Calling all knights, princesses, farmers, and teachers! This
center is a place for the children to play dress up and role play.
Math and Science Center: This center will include counting and shape activities and
games. It will also include science activities that will coordinate with our weekly theme.
Listening and Writing Center: This center will include headsets for listening to audio
stories as well as toys for cuddling with! Children can also practice their writing and
drawing skills here with traceables.
Block Center: This center will include blocks for building as well as transportation toys
like cars and trains.
