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.
Every day 160,000 children miss school out of fear of being intimidated by a bully or by a threatening individual in their neighborhood. This self-defense class will empower youth ages 4 - 17 with non-threatening self-defense techniques and skills to protect them from those who would do harm and from other threatening situations. Students in this class are eligible, if they desire, to earn a certified Yellow Belt rank at the conclusion of the ten week session. Master Jeff Wood, 5th Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, is the head instructor of this class.
SU25A is for ages 4-8
SU25B is for ages 9-17
