PRESCHOOL FROM THE ARCHIVES PRESCHOOL 1981/1982 GUIDE: At our Preschool, children learn through an academic- and play-based curriculum to facilitate learning concepts including writing, science, vocabulary, numbers, shapes, math, and other cognitive abilities. Program activities serve many developmental purposes; participants learn problem-solving skills and how to sort out and organize new ideas. They develop an understanding of social awareness, investigate and experiment with new possibilities. The academics incorporated into the program will ensure students are prepared to move to the next level and eventually be Kindergarten-ready. SCHEDULE & PAYMENT Our program is a mixture of teacher-guided activities and playtime, with small and large group activities based around a weekly theme. Children engage in fine and large motor skill activities, art projects, music, books, dramatic play, cooking, writing and more. Children also have monthly visits from B#Sharp Music for Children and the Park District Naturalist. PAYMENT At the time of registration, a nonrefundable deposit of $75 is made (cash, check, or credit card). The remainder of the yearly fee is divided into equal payments charged to a Visa, MasterCard, Discover card, or AMEX. You will be notified of the equal amounts on the Preschool Registration Form. A $20 service fee will be charged for each returned check. The equal payments will be made by a credit card unless a check or cash is presented to make full payment for the entire year at registration.
