Young Scholars Child Care Center, Ltd

2007 Teacher In-Service

Each year the Young Scholars Child Care Center closes for a day for a teacher in-service.  This year it was Friday, August 3rd.  We take this opportunity to plan a day's events of fun and continuing eduation for our teachers.  This year we visited Barrington Park District to participate in their awesome Barrington Teams Challenge Course at Ron Beese Park!

We had a day filled with challenges, triumphs, and team cheers!  We had a blast and learned to work together to solve problems as a team.  Please take a moment to check out some of the moments captured:
