ONLINE REGISTRATION AVAILABLE Our preschools 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. Our curriculum has been based on the Early Learning Standards from the Illinois State Board of Education. The curriculum includes prekindergarten skills, STEM activities, art, music, science, large and small motor development, and imaginative play. Children must be completely toilet trained and self-sufficient in the bathroom (no diapers or pull-ups) to attend preschool. Registration for the 2026-2027 Preschool begins in February. A copy of the child's Birth Certificate will be required. A $65 non-refundable, non-transferable processing fee is required with your registration. The full first month's tuition will be due June 1, 2026. Tuition is then debited on the 15th of the prior month from September through March.
