Preschool

The goal of Crete Park District Preschool is to provide a carefully planned environment that will enable young children to create, explore, and learn about themselves and others. Writing skills are introduced, as well as, prerequisites to scholastic functions such as numbers, colors, shapes, money and measurement. Our program is designed to provide the child with abundant opportunities for growth and stimulation in all areas of development. We believe children learn best by providing structured play opportunities. Through play we have the ability to develop the whole child in terms of emotional, social, physical and intellectual growth. Concepts of similarities, differences, size, position, weight and textures are also introduced.
