Preschool Information Nights: Choose Between Two Options

NAPERVILLE, IL — The Naperville Park District will be hosting preschool information nights Jan. 11 and 18 for the 2018/2019 school year. Preschool staff will be on hand both nights to answer questions about the district's two preschool programs: the Naperville Park District Preschool Academy and Toadstools and Pollywogs Preschool.

The Jan. 11 session will be held at the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center, 305 W. Jackson Ave., from 6 - 7 p.m.. The Jan. 18 session is at Knoch Knolls Nature Center, 320 Knock Knolls Rd., also from 6 - 7 p.m.

The Naperville Park District Preschool Academy emphasizes creative play and hands-on learning, focusing on individual growth, self-esteem, problem solving and social interaction. Toadstools and Pollywogs teaches the same curriculum, but with an emphasis on outdoor play and nature.

NPD Preschool Academy classes meet at the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center, and Toadstools and Pollywogs classes are held at Seager Park or Knoch Knolls Nature Center. A press release stated that both information nights are identical, and there's no need to register ahead of time.

Registration is needed, however, for the actual preschool programs. Applications must be submitted in person at either location, or 95th Street Center at 2244 W. 95th Street. Enrollment begins Jan. 23 (Jan. 29 for non-residents). Kids already enrolled this year and alumni families will receive priority registration.
