West Springs
FULL DAY PRESCHOOL
(8:30 AM - 3:30 PM)
We’re excited to offer a full-day early learning program for children ages 3 to 5, designed to nurture growth, spark curiosity, and prepare children for the next stage of their learning journey.
Class runs from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, with plenty of time spent outdoors, engaging in hands-on activities, and participating in thoughtful, play-based learning.
Our program is designed for children who are ready to enjoy a full and engaging day. Children enjoy a quiet rest period each afternoon to recharge, though we do not offer a formal nap time.
We offer small class sizes (max. 20 children/class) and a team of three dedicated, experienced educators who will guide, teach, and grow alongside your child every step of the way.
Families provide two snacks and a lunch. There are no additional program costs beyond the monthly fee.
