Mankato Community Education And Recreation

What is Summer ACES? Summer ACES is for children entering 1st-5th grade. Children may choose to take part in a variety of age appropriate activities based on their interests. These activities will include visual and performing arts, science, technology, cooking, clubs, homework and reading, social recreation, physical challenges and activities, outdoor play, and team building. What is Little ACES? Little ACES is a “ready for Kindergarten” experience with an enriching assortment of age appropriate social/emotional and literacy activities. Little ACES will provide your incoming Kindergarten student with a nurturing environment while carefully guiding them towards the more structured classroom experiences ahead. 2021 Summer Site Locations Eagle Lake Elementary (Eagle Lake) Hoover Elementary (North Mankato) Jefferson Elementary** (Mankato) Kennedy Elementary (Mankato) **ACES will offer care at Jefferson instead of Rosa Parks due to the increased need for space for summer school programming.

Voluntary pre-kindergarten was established by Governor Dayton and the 2016 Minnesota Legislature for the purpose of preparing children for success as they enter kindergarten the following year. Mankato Area Public Schools was granted funding for the Kennedy Elementary Preschool site. To be eligible for this free preschool program you must reside within Kennedy or Washington Elementary boundaries and your child cannot be age eligible to attend kindergarten. Contracts will not be accepted if these guidelines are not met. Transportation is available within those boundaries. Registration is processed through the Mankato Area Public Schools- Early Learning Department. For questions, please contact us at 507-625-4620 or at the Family Learning Center, 820 Hubbell Avenue

Mankato Area Public Schools Community Education & Recreation Department is actively evaluating and planning for opportunities to serve you. The diversity of our programming requires us to consider each experience, course or camp individually. Decisions on whether we are able to host a camp or class will be ongoing as directives from the State of Minnesota are provided. At this point we are planning on announcing the availability of programming on a month by month basis. Thank you for your continued patience as we all learn how to live, learn, and play safely at this unprecedented time.
