Naperville Park District Offers Preschool Information Nights Jan. 7 and 14
Parents are invited to learn more about the Naperville Park District's preschool programs at one of two identical Preschool Information Nights. The first will take place from 6:00-7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 7 at Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center and the second will be held from 6:00-7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 14 at Knoch Knolls Nature Center.
Preschool staff will be on hand to answer questions about the District's two preschool programs for the 2016-2017 year, which are the Naperville Park District (NPD) Preschool Academy and Toadstools and Pollywogs Preschool. The NPD Preschool Academy emphasizes creative play and hands-on learning, combining elements from the 2015 Sunny Days and Little da Vinci programs. Toadstools and Pollywogs teaches the same curriculum but with an emphasis on outdoor play and nature.
The 2016-2017 NPD Preschool Academy classes all will be located at the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center, while Toadstools and Pollywogs will remain at Seager Park and the Knoch Knolls Nature Center.
