Hot Fun In The Summertime!

Over the past year, Stickney Township’s Youth Commission hosted a number of educational and entertaining activities for children of all ages and this coming year we look forward to more—all under the supervision of our talented and dedicated staff.

The academic year showed an increase in enrollment for Pre-K-3 (a preschool program for 3 year-olds) and Kiddie Play Tyme (a program for 4 year-olds), while after school activities continued to please with games, crafts, cooking, storytelling and more.

Last summer kids and parents enjoyed Fun in the Sun, where an average of 25 children and their parents spent an afternoon each week at the Burbank Water Park soaking up warm weather and cool water. Age-appropriate activities for 3 to 11 year olds enabled children to explore their own individual creativity, and Family Swim Nights provided Township families a chance to hold their own “private party” with food and beverages provided by Supervisor Louis Viverito.

NEW SUMMER PROGRAM FOR PRESCHOOLERSKiddie Play Tyme

This program is designed to provide children with an opportunity to explore, play and create while enjoying a variety of activities in a safe environment.  Weekly themes involving the use of toys, games, puzzles and art materials will be used to explore different ways for children to play and use their imaginations.  This program will also encourage creative expression through crafts, music and dramatic play as well as promote the development and enhancement of age-appropriate social skills.  ALL CHILDREN MUST BE TOILET TRAINED.
