"Gentle Learning Preschool is always so welcoming. Our usually hesitant 4 year old enjoyed every minute in her classroom. She always came out with a smile and lots of stories about the things she played with or created each day. I was impressed how ready she was for Kindergarten. She still talks about her preschool teachers!"

Learning Through Play!
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Gentle Learning Preschool children participate in play-based activities to encourage learning and development through hands-on experiences. We recognize the value of providing a developmentally appropriate curriculum for our young learners. Our curriculum has been thoughtfully aligned with the Illinois Early Learning Standards. We carefully select and create lessons to engage our students’ intellectual, social and physical needs that will help prepare them for future academic success.
It is our goal that each child enrolled at Gentle Learning Preschool will:
- Learn and grow as an individual and as a friend
- Engage their curiosity through self-directed and teacher led hands-on activities
- Express their creativity through dramatic play, art, music and movement
- Experience the joy of learning
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Preschool Parents Say...
"The staff at Gentle Learning was always friendly and professional. My son looked forward to coming to school every day. For all the new parents who are worried about sending your little one to school - know that your child will be well cared for and well loved at school. It’s such a relief to me as a mom to know that when I drop him off, he will have an enriching learning experience as well as nurturing teachers throughout the school."
