A New Standard of Preschool in Glenview
Park Center Preschool is guided by a “learn through play” philosophy giving children opportunities to discover, problem solve and build self-esteem. Children receive carefully planned guidance while exploring the environment. The 2’s program helps children gain independence, communication skills and both fine and gross motor abilities. The 3’s program focuses on social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. The 4’s program finds creative ways to challenge our students while preparing them for a smooth transition to kindergarten.

“Anna loved Park Center Preschool! She didn’t want to miss a minute. Nice and engaged teachers.”
“Great program with amazing teachers.”
“Park Center Preschool is a great place for preschoolers that are curious and eager to learn. They have tons of activities built in daily curriculum that kids would learn about letters and animals and weathers and so much more. Our kid loves to go to school every day and share with us a lot of good memories in school.”
“My son thrived throughout the year at the Glenview Park center preschool. He made so many wonderful friends and all of the teachers and staff were beyond loving and caring towards him. He learned and grew so much educationally, socially and physically (motor skills) over the year. We can’t recommend the park center preschool highly enough.”
