Our preschool for children ages 3–5 provides a warm, accepting environment where learning is fun. Experienced teachers offer a variety of developmentally appropriate activities designed to help children learn and grow socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Children must be completely toilet trained and be self-sufficient in the bathroom (no diapers or pull-ups) to attend preschool.

Our curriculum has been based on the Early Learning Standards from the Illinois State Board of Education. Visit our Preschools.
