B.E.S.T (Basic Education for Safe Travel) formerly C.A.R.S.Adult EnrichmentInstructor: Mary Johnson The B.E.S.T (formerly C.A.R.S) curriculum is a hybrid training. The online “Car Seat Basics” portion of the training takes about 1 hour to complete with a 10 question quiz at the end. The Car Seat Basics course can be found at https://nsc.learningcart.com/products/Car-Seat-Basics-E-Learning.aspx The in-person portion will take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour and function similar to a car seat checkup where the caregiver needs to demonstrate they can install their car seat with the facilitator's guidance. Proof of completion of the on-line portion must be provided at the time the in-person portion of the training takes place. No exceptions. Please note: the on-line portion must be completed no sooner than 30 days prior to the hands-on portion. The B.E.S.T. in-person portion of the training will take place between the hours of 10am to 1pm on date specified. The B.E.S.T. facilitator, Mary Johnson, will email you the exact time that you will be scheduled during that time slot for your in-person portion. Therefore, registration will close 4 days prior to the training to allow exact times to be allocated. Please be punctual. If you fail to show up, you will have to register for the next training. Important: The expectation is that each person will be familiar with the car seat and vehicle used for the installation before arriving for in-person portion. Familiarity with the car seat and vehicle will help ensure that the in-person portion can be completed in a timely manner. Please note: B.E.S.T will no longer be using the Develop website.Summer Catalog 2025

Little Lakers Extended Care at RVT (3:15-5:15pm)Little Lakers School ReadinessWelcome to Little Lakers! Our school readiness program emphasizes activities in all areas of growth and learning. Research-based High Scope curriculum, implemented in classes, teaches children to initiate, discover, experience, and learn about ideas, events, and people. Children will create, experiment, problem-solve, and resolve conflicts as they learn. This approach enhances each young person's growth in the foundations of academics as well as in social-emotional, physical, and creative areas. The development of each child is discussed with parents/guardians. The program includes a diverse grouping of children reflective of our community and inclusive with early childhood special education. Classes run September to May. Tuition/participation fees are monthly, through arranged payments, or may be reduced or waived depending upon your financial situation. Notification of enrollment: We begin notifying families in mid February and on-going. Once you receive confirmation of acceptance, there will be a $30 fee to hold your spot. If classes fill, we keep a wait list and notify families when openings come up. All families are encouraged to apply as wait lists change frequently. Applications are accepted on-going.
