PRESCHOOL CLASSES

Prepare Your Little One for Kindergarten!
At Gentle Learning Preschool, children learn through play and discovery. Our classrooms are filled with engaging centers that invite children to explore, create, and connect. Each day offers opportunities to build curiosity, confidence, and friendships through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
Our curriculum weaves early literacy, math, science, art, and motor development into activities that feel joyful and natural. Children measure and mix while cooking, express ideas through art and dramatic play, and build coordination through movement indoors and out.
Preschool is more than preparation for what comes next – it's a stage of learning all its own. At Gentle Learning, children are known, supported, and inspired to grow into curious, capable, and confident learners.
2026-2027 School Year Requirements: Children must be 3 or 4 by September 1, 2026 in order to enroll in the respective classes. We strongly encourage children to be potty-trained before entering our preschool program.

Class Placement: Exact class and teacher placement will be assigned in late July and is based on availability.
Required at Registration: To secure your child's preschool spot, the following is required: $60 non-refundable registration fee & proof of residency (to receive resident rate).
Proof of Residency: Please ensure that you have verified your residency (in-person) before attempting to register. Failure to do so may result in a nonresident monthly tuition rate for the school year. To verify your residency please bring the following documentation with you to the Lisle Recreation Center: Valid Photo ID and one of the following: Tax Bill, Lease, or Utility Bill. If you are a returning family, your residency has already been verified, so there is no need to do that again unless you have moved.
How To Register: Online registration is available through our online registration system. In-person registration is also available at the Lisle Recreation Center, 1925 Ohio Street in Lisle, Monday-Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm. You will need to create a new online family account or have a current online family account in order to register.
