The Hoffman Estates Park District (HEParks) will host an Open House for its Little Stars Child Care Program from 9 to 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Triphahn Center, 1685 W. Higgins Road, in Hoffman Estates.
Parents of children ages 3-5 can explore the program and discover how Little Stars prepares children for success in kindergarten.
HEParks’ Little Stars program offers a full-day preschool experience designed to support the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of young children. The curriculum is rooted in play-based learning, encouraging problem-solving, creativity and social skills through a variety of daily activities, including art, music, math, science and group discussions.
“Our Little Stars program is crafted to ignite a passion for learning in every child,” said Natalie Wood, Early Childhood Program manager at HEParks. “We focus on each child’s individual growth, ensuring they are ready to shine in kindergarten and beyond. The Open House is a chance for families to see how we nurture and guide young learners.”
The Open House is open to all interested families, with no registration required. Drop in between 9 and 10 a.m., to learn more about the program and take a tour of the facilities.
