Created by a teacher for you little ones, Brain Bins bring 3 days worth of preschool activities into your home! Lesson plans, art projects & supplies, book suggestions, songs and games for your whole family are waiting for you to explore. New themes are available each Monday, and once released, remain available for the rest of the summer.
Recommended by:
Kara Guizzetti-Reif
Early Childhood, Preschool and Day Camp Supervisor
Why I chose this program:
These bins are filled with ideas to help your child practice many of the fine- and gross-motor skills they might receive in a preschool classroom, but are collected to help you do them at home in a fun and interactive way, without having to do the planning yourself. We will include enough supplies for siblings to play and create together. I think this is a great way for parents to spend some one-on-one time with a child, or to bring the whole family together.

The photo with the most likes will be announced at 4pm on July 17 and the artist will win a gift card to a local restaurant.

Each of us has a unique way of expressing ourselves, and you can do this just steps outside your front door! Show us what you've got St. Charles and maybe your driveway creation will be crowned the winner of Driveway Picassos!

52 playing cards have been dispersed throughout the St. Charles parks and facilities! The cards are various sizes and have a SCPD logo in the middle to identify it as an official playing card. When you see a card snap a selfie with each one! Try to get the best 5-card poker hand. The winning hand will win a gift card to a local restaurant.
