Early Childhood Education

We believe every child deserves the strongest possible start. Our program is designed to nurture the academic, social-emotional, and physical development of our youngest learners, ages 3 to 5. Through a blend of play-based learning, caring relationships, and purposeful instruction, we help children build a solid foundation for success — both in kindergarten and in life.

As a proud “Preschool for All” program, we are state-funded to provide high-quality early learning opportunities at no cost. Our mission is to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning in every children we serve. 

We offer both half-day and full-day Pre-Kindergarten options, made possible through the Illinois Early Childhood Block Grant. These programs are needs-based and designed to reach children who will benefit most from early learning support.

We are more than just a preschool — we are a community of educators, families, and learners committed to ensuring every child is ready to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.

Welcome to Cicero District 99’s Preschool Program — where futures begin with small steps.
