The Early Childhood Programs are an integral part of Forest Lake Area Schools (FLAS). We work together to assure that children transition smoothly into kindergarten.
The program offers before and after school childcare, non-school days (NSD) and summer childcare. Fees are listed in the current fee schedule online. The program opens at 6am and closes at 6pm.
This 2,500 year old practice helps us overcome self-dislike and builds proper self-love and self-acceptance. It also helps us act more gently and lovingly toward others and live without fear or hatred of others. This practice improves good relationships and helps heal problem ones. It also teaches compassion, balance in relationships and appreciating others' good fortune. You will be provided with a link prior to class.
