Geneva Unit District 304 to host preschool open house Jan. 29
The Geneva Early Learning Program invites area families to an open house from 6:30-7:15 p.m. Monday, Jan. 29, to learn about the rewarding and enriching preschool offerings from Geneva Unit District 304.
It is an inclusive preschool community for district residents offering a full continuum of services for children who are typically developing as well as those who have identified disabilities.
Its curriculum is a research-based, play-based curriculum and is aligned to the district’s core values. The program is currently accepting enrollment for tuition-based preschool students, age 3 or older.
“Families who attend this open house can meet our teachers, explore our classrooms, ask questions, and learn how Geneva 304 partners with families to foster a love of learning,” said Program Directory Jennifer Seton. “We are dedicated to preparing children – academically, socially, emotionally, and physically – for life and future learning.”
The preschool’s curriculum is a research-based play-based curriculum and aligned to the district's core values, according to Seton. Developmentally appropriate activities are aligned with the Creative Curriculum, the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards, and student progress is monitored via Teaching Strategies Gold.
All teachers have a bachelor’s and/or master's degree. Each holds a Professional Educator License with the Illinois State Board of Education with endorsements in either Early Childhood and/or Special Education and/or English as a Second Language. Every classroom has a full-time Instructional Assistant who is a licensed paraprofessional by the Illinois State Board of Education.
“We look forward to welcoming children to the program and supporting them in this next step in their developmental journey,” Seaton added.
School hours are Monday to Friday, with 3-year-olds from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and 4-year-olds from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at the school, 0S350 Grengs Lane.
