I've had my daughter at Little People's on Hillgrove in LaGrange since she was 18 mo's old. She is now 6. Overall, it has been a very good experience. She graduated from Kindergarten this June and to see all the activities (art, reading, writing, science projects, etc.) that they have done over the years has been great! Amazing to see how she's soaked up so much knowledge.

This past year, they took over space across the street on Catherine. They created the Little People's Academy of Arts & Education. They do all sorts of educational activities w/ the kids! They have an art studio, artistic (theater) studio, culinary studio (i.e. the kitchen where they'll make bread, salads, etc.), gym area. They brought in a yoga teacher, a karate teacher, go to gymnastics, etc. In addition to the "fun" stuff, they have the kids doing math, reading, writing in journals, etc.

However, please note that there have been some changes in staff recently, so I cannot vouch for the staff they'll have should you decide to put your children in. However, since my daughter's been there this long, they have always been caring teachers who seem to truly take an interest in my child.

Good luck finding a place.

Grand Ave. preschool is the best one around. It is in Western Springs. Good Luck.

My daughter will be starting preschool at Kensington School in La Grange. We live about two blocks from the school. I love what I've seen so far (albiet, my daughter hasn't really started yet!). Based on my tours of the school and talking with other parents, everyone seems really happy about it.

Kensington has a few different sites. One in Western Springs maybe? And two in La Grange. Though, I'm certain Hindale is bound to have some great options too, if you wanted to stay closer to home. Kensington may be worth a look though.

Good luck!

We attend Grand Avenue Preschool in Western Springs and it is fabulous. The teachers all have degrees and it is the only accredited preschool in the area. They have art and music as part of the program as well as they are focused on kindergarten preparedness.

I hope this helps.
