You could contact Laurie Hume at the Early Learning and Family Resource Center, which is where the main office for the district 197 preschool is located. She could answer any questions you have. Enrollment is currently open. Her email is Laurie.hume@isd197.org

My oldest went there half day and at Dodge half day. We loved it and it really helped prepare him for kindergarten. Ms. Jeni is the best!

My oldest did PreK in 197 half day, before the early learning center was open, and had Ms. Kelli (and another teacher who is no longer there). My youngest is now at the early learning center, and did 3 school last year with Ms. Jenny and now is in PreK full day with Ms. Paloma. He loves it! It has been really great.... he is on the cusp of reading now, and comes home every day really excited about what he learned. He also seems to get lots of free time to play and explore, and it is fun, play-based learning. The teachers are really great at connecting with the kids, and communicating. I guess my only complaint is that they don't get outside that much - they have a pretty small playground. They definitely move a ton - they go to the gym all the time. But otherwise, it's been awesome and I definitely recommend it!

I have one that went through three school and is in pre-K right now. The place has been great and really helped him grow. We have had Ms Jenny and Ms Lea and they have both been amazing.
