Preschool Program

Our preschool program provides an enriching experience for three to five-year-old children. The program is taught by Illinois State Board of Education licensed Early Childhood teachers with Special Education and English Language (EL) certifications using research-based curriculum and programs aligned to the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards. Following the Creative Curriculum method of center-based learning experiences, students receive instruction that is tailored to their needs, allowing advanced learners to move forward as they achieve mastery and providing necessary scaffolding and support to struggling learners to allow them to gain confidence and mastery of skills. Teachers focus on the learning needs of each student to foster engaged and enthusiastic learners.

Preschool Screening

KSD 140 provides preschool screening for children with potential delays or disabilities who are three years of age or older. The purpose of the screening is to share with parents their child’s developmental skills in the following areas: fine and gross motor, speech and language, cognition, and pre-readiness concepts. Results of the screening may also identify children who may need further evaluations if a disability is suspected.

For further information or to initiate a screening, please contact our Department of Special Services at 708-532-8537.
