What our parEntS arE Saying…

“I just want to say thank you to the team and teachers at Elk Grove Park District Preschool. I transferred my daughter in the middle of the year because she was not adapting. Once she started at EGVPD, she enjoyed school and was excited to go. I am so glad we made the switch!”

“Our baby daughter Alexiana P. was loved and adored by the best preschool that has ever existed. How can we ever say thank you to the care that the Al Hattendorf preschool staff showed to our baby this impossible school year. Her teachers provided excellent care and guidance for my 3 year old. Alexiana learned more from them than her 6 year old sister ever has.”

“I would like to thank the whole staff at the Hattendorf preschool for giving my daughter the best year. She always felt safe and welcome and learned more then we could ever teach her. I would like to thank her teachers. They were wonderful and we will miss them this summer. Please let them know how much they are appreciated.”
