An Early Start to School Success

Utilizing the Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum, our educators develop standards-based learning environments designed around rich themes of interest. Early reading, writing, and math readiness skills are introduced within a hands-on experiential setting. Learning Without Tears is also introduced at this point, providing additional early exposure to the building block of future learning.

Since we are private center and serve a high risk population of infants and children who are not of the age to vaccinate against many communicable diseases, we strictly follow the DCFS requirements for the DHS Health form to indicate that all students and staff have received the immunizations required by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Therefore we are not able to make an exemption on vaccine requirements for our students.

All students (including international students) are required to be seen by a doctor in the state of Illinois and have the DHS Health Form be completed by a doctor licensed in the state of Illinois.
