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.
A pre-requisite for this course is the current Softball League that is taking place right now. If you are not registered for the current softball league, your registration will be removed and you will be refunded.
Softball League - Modified Slowpitch Grades 1 & 2 Softball can build coordination, help to keep kids active and improve their skills while they have fun with their friends. Players in first & second grade will play slowpitch and receive a set number of pitches from the coach to put the ball in play. If they don't put the ball in play, they will be given one additional hit from a tee. Home team will provide a parent volunteer umpire.

Students will participate in one practice night a week for 7 weeks while also playing 6 games throughout the season. Once the game schedule begins, you will have one practice night and one game night each week. The first week of the season will consist of practice only. Coaches may choose to practice two nights during the first week
Students must be registered for the same league that they are currently registered for. Anyone who is registered for a different league, will automatically be moved to the correct league.
Volunteer coaches are needed! Open to all levels of experience, this program is dependent on volunteer coaches so please click here for more information on coaching.
Practices will be held at elementary schools within the Forest Lake area. When registering, please select which school your student would like to play for. We will do our best to schedule practices at or near the elementary school that your student is registered for. Volunteer coaches will notify you of your practice and game schedule prior to the start of the season. Games will be held at the Forest Lake/Forest View Elementary Athletic Fields.
Friend Requests - we will do our best to honor one friend request per player. Both players must have each other listed to be honored as well as the same school and same grade selected.
