Messiah Child Care Registration for 2013-2014 School Year

Messiah Lutheran Child Care Center in Park Ridge will be accepting registration for the 2013-2014 school year beginning Monday, February 11. Messiah also offers a summer program that runs June 10 to August 15. The summer program follows the same schedule as the regular school year.

The summer program is a great way to introduce your child to Messiah.

Messiah provides a nurturing environment where the individual, physical, emotional, cognitive, social and spiritual growth of each child is encouraged and celebrated. Messiah has a variety of programs suited for your child ages 3 to 5, including kindergarten, junior kindergarten, preschool and full day child care. Pre-school is divided into classrooms for younger 3 year olds, older 3 year olds and 4 year old children. In addition, the parent/tot class is for children between the ages of 18 and 36 months.

Messiah has convenient scheduling where children can attend a minimum of 2 days per week up to 5 days per week, and either half or full days. For children who stay through lunch, Messiah provides a healthy, catered lunch approved by a registered dietitian. As always, Messiah is a peanut-free environment.

For additional information on which class would work best for you and your child and/or to schedule a school visit, please call 847.825.3767 to speak with Karen or Cathy.
