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.
We are headed out to Fish Lake (in East Bethel) for a guided nature walk. A Minnesota Master Naturalist Instructor will guide us to experience habitats found within two of the three biomes of our state – the deciduous forest and the coniferous forest. There will be multiple opportunities to stop and rest to listen and look for birds and other animals living in this forest. There is a possibility of seeing woodpeckers and bison. Wear sturdy walking shoes and bring binoculars, if you have them. Please park at the parking lot at 23603-23699 Durant St NE, East Bethel, MN 55005. In case of inclement weather, alternate activities will be held indoors at the Education Center.
