INVESTING IN EARLY EDUCATION: LANCASTER REC AND LOCAL SOCIAL ENTERPRISE PARTNER TO TEACH EARLY STEM TO CHILDRENThe US Department of Education finds that nationally 60% of children are not kindergarten-ready when it comes time to walk into kindergarten on that first day, but Lancaster Recreation Commission is being proactive in making sure that their youngest students are prepared. Lancaster Recreation Commission understands the importance of providing education to parents so that their children are equipped with all the necessary skills to be successful in school. Lancaster Recreation Commission has partnered with STEM Starts Now to provide the program to all of the early child education programs to help teachers and parents teach early science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts to young children.

Together STEM Starts Now and Lancaster Recreation Commission are providing a foundation to give all babies the best start possible by teaching parents how to nurture critical early skills that lay the foundation for a lifetime of new learning. Since 90% of a child’s brain is formed before even starting kindergarten, these are the critical years to provide this foundation.

Lancaster Rec is providing STEM Starts Now subscriptions for free to families in our programs. Parents and care-givers of children age newborn to five who participate in the early childhood education programs at the Lancaster RecreationCommission can subscribe for free by going to STEMStartsNow.com. Click on Join, then Group Membership and enter the code LRC2020 for a free subscription.

STEM Starts Now is a new digital parent subscription program created by local pediatric occupational therapist, Dr. Aimee Ketchum. Written by a team of early child developmental experts, STEM Starts Now helps babies by supporting parents first through weekly e-mails tailored to the child’s age and developmental level. It is packed with tips, STEM activities, videos, articles, and information on physical, social-emotional, language, and intellectual development to help children master the skills necessary for success in kindergarten and a future of lifelong learning ahead of them!


Registration for all Lancaster Rec Child Care Programs is accepted year-round on a space-available basis.

HOW TO REGISTER FOR CHILD CARE PROGRAMSRegistration for Before and After School Care and Child Care Programs is only accepted in person at the Lancaster
