Burbank Park District – Newcastle Rec Center

My kids have attended playschool, preschool, dance classes, swim lessons, basketball, cheerleading… you name it. All of the programs have been wonderful. The playschool/​preschool teachers are phenomenal as are all the coaches we have dealt with. They are caring and have a genuine interest in helping the kids succeed at whatever they are trying to accomplish, whether it’s learning their ABCs or learning how to shoot a basketball.
The programs the park district puts together are all wonderful as well. We have attended many Breakfasts with Santa, Easter Egg hunts and 4^th of July celebrations. Thankful to live in a town that is so family oriented. The prices for all the programs are amazing as well.
Two of our favorite programs the park district offers are the dance program and the swim lessons. Miss Natalie is an amazing dance teacher, my girls love her and we will be coming back for dance classes for years to come. The swimming program is great as well, they give your child lots of one on one attention even though it’s structured as a group program. They let your child go at their own pace and don’t pressure them to do anything they are too uncomfortable to do. They definitely encourage them, but don’t pressure them. I appreciated that having a child who was terrified of putting her head under water (she totally got over that fear by the end of the lessons btw!)
