Preschool

Before your child begins in our PreK classroom (ages 4 through pre-K), we’ll meet with your family to discuss what to expect. You'll receive real-time electronic updates including details on meals, potty breaks, outdoor time, daily progress, and more.

Each day begins with a warm welcome to set a positive tone. Preschoolers enjoy a day filled with circle time, story time, meals, play, outdoor exploration, and engaging learning activities.

Elmhurst Premier Childcare has partnered with ChildEats catering is a family-owned and operated team of food professionals on a mission to deliver fresh, organic, and locally sourced meals to the next generation.

With no processed foods, our children enjoy farm-to-table, freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks, along with organic milk served daily at lunch. This commitment to clean, nourishing food gives our families peace of mind.

Our center utilizes the a STEAM curriculum—one of the most widely adopted preschool frameworks in the country. This comprehensive, research-based activities create an engaging, high-quality learning environment where children’s experiences are not only intentional but also fun and meaningful.

The curriculum promotes social-emotional development and supports all children in building strong skills across 10 key areas of learning. We focus on cognitive growth, introducing numbers, letters, puzzles, games, science projects, math concepts, and writing.

By fostering creativity and confidence, our teachers create a small, nurturing setting where children thrive, are always learning through play and are loved and nurtured.

All children will have a specialized music class from Music Together in Elmhurst.   We know children will develop a love for music that can be nurtured indefinitely.  

Our Preschool classroom is thoughtfully designed with health and sustainability in mind. Like the rest of our center, it features Community Playthings furniture—renowned for high quality, safe design, and LEED certification.

Natural elements like branches for hanging artwork and eco-friendly, organic supplies—including crayons, markers, and blankets—reflect our commitment to a safe, green environment.

This classroom also includes a child-only bathroom, ensuring comfort and convenience for our preschoolers.

Elmhurst Premier’s Pre-K classroom offers a variety of activities that foster a love of learning and help children build friendships.

Children are introduced to reading, writing, manners and basic Spanish while engaging in individual and group activities that encourage exploration of their individuality and social skills.

We also focus on teaching nutrition, self-help, accountability, empathy, manners, and problem-solving to support their overall growth and prepare them for future success and preparedness for Kindergarten.
