Welcome to Preschool- Room 107
Chicago Early Learning Blended Classroom

Our preschool classroom is dedicated to providing a warm, nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. We provide both guided and free-play to nurture imagination, initiative and problem-solving.

Our curriculum is based on the premise that children are naturally curious about their environment and that play is the essential ingredient of our preschool program. Through play in a well arranged and regularly enriched environment, children learn about themselves and their capabilities and develop their cognitive, social and emotional capacities.  

In the art area, children have experiences with a variety of materials and have opportunities to explore their creativity.  Building with blocks introduces the child to spatial, pre-math relationships such as balance and symmetry as well as promoting team effort and using a material to represent an idea. We provide many experiences that foster a love of reading and writing. Storytime is an important part of our day.  Through exposure to good literature, "writing" activities, songs and finger plays we are helping our students to get ready for later reading and writing. The dramatic play area offers opportunities to play roles and explore using their imagination. We have access to two beautiful playgrounds that provide opportunities for large motor play.  We are so happy you are here for the 2023-2024 school year!
