Fall spots available at R.M.H.S. preschool

Rolling Meadows High School Mini-Mustang Preschool Program has available spots for children ages 3-5 for the fall, beginning Monday, Sept. 10. The preschool is located at Rolling Meadows High School, 2901 Central Road, in Rolling Meadows. There are openings in the morning program from 10:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m., on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, through May of 2013.

Every Mini-Mustang’s day begins with free time to explore the different educational toys and games available. Group time consists of structured activities designed to develop self-esteem and enhance learning. Preschoolers learn about the calendar, participate in show-and-tell and perform finger plays and songs based on the theme for the week. The children have a choice of two educational activities, and their day concludes with snacks and free play.

High school teachers are trained to offer all students a high-quality education in a caring environment. The program prides itself on a one-to-one student to teacher ratio, which offers individualized attention to each preschooler. The Mini-Mustang Preschool also provides inclusive education for students with special needs.

The cost is $100 per child per semester, plus a $20 registration fee. “Scholarships” are available for special needs children or families with limited financial resources. Parents may register their child or schedule an appointment to observe the preschool in session this semester by contacting Linda Pribyl, (847) 718-5904 or Linda.pribyl@d214.org.
