District 54 parent-paid preschool still accepting registrations

School District 54 is still accepting registrations for its parent-paid preschool program at Aldrin Elementary School for the 2013-14 school year.

The District 54 Parent Paid Preschool Program serves children ages 3 to 5 who are progressing at a rate typical for their age. Classes are taught by state-certified, highly-qualified teachers. Preschool students have the opportunity to participate in schoolwide events and often partner with older classes.

The cost varies depending on whether the student attends for two, three or five days each week.

The two-day program is $1,080 annually, payable in five installments of $216.

The three-day program is $1,620 annually, payable in five installments of $324.

The five-day program is $2,700 annually, payable in five installments of $540.

The first payment is due at registration. Parents must also pay a one-time registration fee of $55 the first time they enroll their child in the program.

Aldrin is located at 617 Boxwood Drive, in Schaumburg. Aldrin will offer morning and afternoon classes, which will meet from 8-10:30 a.m. or 11:45 a.m.-2:15 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; and from 8-10:15 a.m. or 11:30 a.m.-1:45 p.m. on Wednesday.

There are also preschool programs available in District 54 for children with special needs or those who are not progressing at a rate anticipated for potential success in kindergarten due to one or more at-risk variables. For information about those programs, contact the early childhood department at (847) 357-5097.
