About this Article

Dan Wagner says his son received a wonderful education at Jefferson Early Childhood Center in Wheaton, but the physical facility made things far more challenging than they needed to be. “The facility itself is taking away from the education experience of children,” he says. Wheaton Warrenville Unit District 200 will ask voters April 9 to approve borrowing $17.6 million to build a new Jefferson.
