The Creative Kids Preschool program provides an age-appropriate curriculum to develop a child’s love of learning. Our curriculum provides a safe, nurturing environment that allows the children to grow socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. Children participate in various activities every day, including art, movement, math, science, storytime, and group learning, which are designed so that students can find their successes. Our curriculum incorporates Jolly Phonics, STEM, and Handwriting Without Tears. We strive to prepare children for kindergarten, and our program gives children the tools and experiences they need to ensure a positive transition. In our two-year program, some ongoing skills are taught, such as recognizing and printing first and last names with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, reciting numbers 1-20, count by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s, letter recognition, number recognition, sounds, sight words calendar, and weather. Our teachers help the children learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share, and establish self-direction.

The KinderStop program is operated by the Prospect Heights Park District, cooperatively with School District 23. The KinderStop program is offered to kindergartners, 1st graders, and our Creative Kids Preschool (4Y–5Y). This is a great opportunity for your child to extend their day, in a small, friendly environment. Participants enjoy indoor and outdoor free play; planned crafts; games; individual and group activities complemented by monthly themes. School District 23 will provide school bus transportation to and from school for K–1st graders. Our Creative Kids Preschool students will be escorted from their preschool room to the KinderStop room by their preschool teacher. There is no KinderStop on days when School District 23 is not in session. Kids Days Off programs are available on non–school days for an additional fee.

K–1st Graders, please notify D23 that you are enrolled in our program for transportation purposes. D23 will notify you of the date that your child can start riding the bus to KinderStop.
