Early Childhood Enrichment

Our programs emphasize socialization and learning through cooperative play. Our Early Childhood Instructors work with the children on various independent skill levels to enhance their development in the following areas:  gross/fine motor skills, free exploration, language, creative expression, and listening skills. These skills are taught through music, finger plays, games, arts and crafts, and free play.

It is a major step for parent and child when the child separates from a parent and develops his/her own independence. The instructors are very sensitive and concerned of this adjustment. Our programs will help to prepare your child(ren) physically, but emotionally as well. We work hard in our classes for the children to have positive self-concept and self-awareness. When the children are brought in at the appropriate age level, this is easily accomplished.

Full Day Preschool Child Care

The Hoffman Estates Park District Early Learning Center promotes student development in learning the social and academic skills needed to prepare for Kindergarten entry. Developmentally-appropriate instruction is provided in an environment that values cultural diversity and nurtures a love of learning.

Our full-day preschool program focuses on the whole child, emphasizing socialization and learning through play. Our curriculum incorporates a variety of learning activities designed to promote problem solving, creativity, self-expression, and social skills. Students participate in a variety of activities everyday, including art, music, creative movement, dramatic play, math, science, and group discussions.

Our teachers combine this diverse curriculum with a nurturing environment and a healthy balance of playtime to encourage students’ physical, emotional, social and creative development. And through encouragement, understanding and respect, they help provide a positive atmosphere for learning.

We believe that children learn best when parents and teachers work together and support each other, therefore, we encourage the active involvement of parents.

Preschool - Fostering a Love of Learning

Our curriculum focuses on hands on activities and experimentation. Activities such as music, movement, dramatic play, science, and open ended art projects help cultivate children’s imaginations and give them confidence to express themselves. Group activities encourage socialization and teach important lessons in sharing and being part of a community. Daily outdoor or gym time helps children develop their large motor skills. Fine motor skills are developed through tabletop activities like puzzles cutting and painting, which also fosters the imagination and cognitive development.

In addition, each classroom boasts a computer and digital camera, allowing teachers to integrate technology into the curriculum. Our teachers combine our diverse curriculum with a nurturing environment and a healthy balance of playtime to encourage student’s physical, emotional, and social and creative development. And through encouragement, understanding and respect, they help provide a positive atmosphere for learning. Our program is state licensed and nationally accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, so you can be confident that your child will benefit from superior educators, classroom equipment, and opportunities to help build a solid foundation for his or her future.
