Every Wed. Immanuel Lutheran offers a FREE mom and tot class from 11-11:45AM run by a certified teacher in our school gymnasium. It’s a drop-in, no registration required class and a great way to check out our school culture. I am the admissions director at Immanuel and a parent of 2 kids there and if you decide you want to hear more I would love to walk you through our admissions process. We started at the preschool level and now my kids are in 2 nd and 5 th grade. My children both have tested above normal in all areas of their academics but I loved about their preschool is the aspect of learning and play that is still valued at our preschool level/program.

Alice Gustafson ECC! I’m pretty sure the lottery is over for this year but maybe an option for next !

So we started out at Batavia High Schools pre school program....it was just the right amount of an introduction when they are 3....this year when he is 4 he is going to Batvias public pre school...I noticed that West Aurora has a pre school program that you could look into. Right now the ratio is 18 student teachers to 15 kids and $65 a semester.

No doubt about it is Polka dot dragon, don't look elsewhere. They have been absolutely AWESOME to my 2 kids. One is currently going to Polka dots and one is in 1 st grade and excelled in Kindergarten because of them. They are at 56 and 31. I can not say enough kind things about them, they prep them for kindergarten, and teach them so much. Love Ms. Wendy and Ms Liz. https://www.polkadotdragonpreschool.com/
