Grand Avenue Preschools will host open houses on Saturday, November 8 from 10am-Noon at their Western Springs and La Grange Highlands locations and on Thursday, November 13 from 6:30pm-7:30pm at their La Grange location.

For 33 years, parents have trusted Grand Avenue Preschools as the important first step in their child’s education. Their program focuses on fully preparing children academically and socially for their elementary education years. Grand Avenue Directors keep in regular contact with local area grade schools to use the same teaching tools as they do, such as Jolly Phonics© and Handwriting without Tears© to ensure a smooth transition to kindergarten.

Along with an emphasis on social and emotional development, the curriculum at Grand Avenue also includes math, language arts, natural sciences, music, art and fine/gross motor stimulation. Their program is aligned with the Illinois learning standards, developed by the Illinois State Board of Education and Grand Avenue is proud to be the only preschool in this area nationally accredited by the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation (NECPA).

Grand Avenue offers academic programs for children ages two through Kindergarten. Programs include Preschool for two through five year olds - full or half day (morning and afternoon options), extended lunch care for three through five year olds which includes a hot healthy lunch and Kindergarten enrichment programs. In addition, the school offers before/after school programs for children up to 5th grade and provides door to door bus service to Grand Avenue from many of the local area grade schools.

Grand Avenue is a local, family owned business with owners who are on site at each location every day. The school is very proud to have a high retention rate of very experienced teachers and each teacher at Grand Avenue receives 24 hours of in-service training per year plus Red Cross certification in first aid and CPR.
