At Buffalo Grove Park District Preschool we believe that children learn best through play. Our experienced staff guides children through weekly emergent topics, providing rich, process-based activities for them to explore. Our smaller classroom sizes and positive school culture inspires children to build a confident, compassionate and curious spirit. Children practice their early literacy skills using the Handwriting Without Tears and Jolly Phonics curriculums. Our program also fosters a joyful, healthy lifestyle with dedicated times in our Large Motor Room, outdoor playground spaces, and school-wide events.

Four Year Old Preschool:
Our Four Year Old Preschool program provides a quality preschool experience that will enrich the social, emotional and intellectual growth of your four year old.
