Monday through Friday.
Infants & Toddlers (6 weeks to 2 years) This program provides infants
and toddlers with comfort,
consistency and security
by having them remain
with the same caregiver for
up to 2 years. We provide
developmentally appropriate
activities in our classroom to
encourage physical, cognitive,
social, emotional and verbal
development.
Busy Bees (2 - 3 years) Children in this classroom are
introduced to new concepts and
activities to prepare them for
the early childhood classroom.
Children can remain here until
they are at least 3 years old and are
developmentally ready to transition
to the Early Childhood classrooms.
Early Childhood (3 - 5 years) The Early Childhood class includes our preschool program and
provides a climate for children to develop socially, emotionally and
intellectually. We offer a consistent, challenging and creative center-based curriculum involving hands-on activities. The teachers create
learning centers in their classrooms to encourage learning through
play. Activities are created to help children meet goals and objectives
from the Illinois Early Learning Standards to aid in preparing them
for Kindergarten.
Preschool For All Preschool For All is a
state funded preschool
program that provides a
developmentally appropriate
education for 3 to 5 year old
children in our surrounding
communities. Preschool
