How do I enroll in the program?
This is not an open enrollment program. Students must be found eligible for enrollment. Please call (708) 614-4500 to request an eligibility screening. Our Early Learning Clerk will guide you step by step through the eligibility process.
My child isn’t potty-trained. Can he/she attend Pre-Kindergarten?
Children do not need to be potty-trained to enroll in our program. There is a child-friendly bathroom in each classroom, and staff are available to assist as needed.
Does every child qualify for placement in a Pre-Kindergarten classroom?
No. Per the Preschool For All Grant requirements, all families interested in preschool programming must be screened for eligibility. Eligibility factors include, but are not limited to income, language needs, developmental milestones, environmental factors and children already identified as having special needs. Additional questions can be answered during your child’s screening appointment.
