ABOUT

 

Our Goal: to serve the families and community by providing the best quality education and developmentally appropriate curriculum to children.



Our Program: provides an atmosphere of love, understanding, and respect to the welfare and personality of the children, foremost in every respect.  


History: We are in our ninth decade of dedicated service to the community as a teaching and caring center for children ages two through twelve. Founded as a Pre-Kindergarten in 1927, we have grown to a school licensed to the capacity of 120 students. Our school meets the requirements established by the Department of Children and Family Services of the State of Illinois, the Oak Park Village Board of Health, and the Oak Park Fire Department. These requirements set standards for organization, administration and professional staff, varied curriculum, proper nutrition, maintenance of safety standards, and well-designed facilities.

 

The school has served children of many races and creeds during its long history. Operation of the school is under the supervision of the Preschool and Kindergarten Board of the First Baptist Church of Oak Park.

 

Illinois Quality Counts: We are assessed yearly by Illinois Quality Counts to improve and maintain our star rating. We currently uphold our Star Level 2 rating. Visit Illinois Quality Counts online for more information about their Quality Rating System.
