Early Preschool

Our early preschoolers are settling into routines, developing their unique habits and personalities, and beginning a new adventure as early learners! They enjoy family-style snacks and meals with friends and teachers, featuring organic, non-GMO, or natural food and milk.

In a classroom filled with adventures fueled by imagination, children practice table manners, sharing, social skills, and much more—all while having fun and learning every day!

Before your child starts in the Early Preschool classroom, we’ll meet to discuss what to expect. Using Playground, our electronic platform, you’ll receive real-time updates on diaper changes, meals, activities, photos, behavior, and milestones.

We provide parent-teacher conferences and offer personal phone calls to discuss your child’s educational experiences. We know how important it is to stay connected, and we’re committed to sharing daily highlights and insights into your child’s growth and learning.

Our young preschoolers are continuing to embrace their independence, guided by our compassionate teachers. Each day is filled with fun, themed activities designed to prepare them for the next stage of learning.

We nurture self-awareness, curiosity, compassion, and basic problem-solving skills, while helping children build relationships and social skills in a supportive, engaging environment.

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 Preschool Room children are inspired daily through Our STEAM inspired Curriculum, with a focus on early literacy, colors, shapes, basic word recognition, writing, and introductory Spanish. Children engage in group and individual activities that promote exploration, self-awareness, and social skills, as well as a foundation in problem-solving, empathy, manners, accountability, and self-help skills.

The classroom offers structured learning with cognitive experiences like number and letter recognition, puzzles, games, science projects, and writing practice. Children enjoy music, art, physical play, sensory experiences, and outdoor exploration on our eco-friendly playground.

Our environment is equipped with LEED-certified Community Playthings furnishings, promoting a natural, safe, and healthy atmosphere. We use eco-friendly supplies as offered. This classroom also has its own child-only bathroom.

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.
