We will begin accepting registration for our 2011-2012 preschool year in November. Morning or afternoon sessions are available 2, 3, or 5 days a week for children ages 2 to 6 years.

Our program is geared to stimulate intelligence through creative learning experiences. The teaching staff is composed of loving and devoted professionals in early childhood education and development.

The concept of Banner Preschool is to provide a nurturing environment in which each child can grow and develop to his/her optimum potential and self worth. It is our belief that close communications between the home and the school is an essential ingredient for your childs success during his early preschool years. We think of this as forming a partnership as teachers and parents work together. Parent/Teacher Conferences are also part of our early childhood program. We have an open door policy where parents are welcome to visit our classrooms at anytime. We welcome you to our family based center.

At Banner we feel each child is unique. We make sure he/she feels this way too. This philosophy is carried out in the classroom as well as the home. A special home visit from the teacher is scheduled for each child. Birthdays are shared, holiday parties and parent-child party themes are also planned throughout the year.

A high quality program like ours believes that learning is our most exciting endeavor. The activities we do, convey a feeling of celebration as we help children make new connections, find new meanings, and achieve new levels of skill and comprehension. Our humanistic approach to teaching provides a warm setting for close social interaction between peers and teachers. Our environment fosters a zest for learning and a positive self-esteem. Our curriculum includes reading readiness, music, art, cooking, science and social studies. We offer an indoor gym and an outdoor age appropriate fenced in playground. We believe in a hands on approach to our teaching. Our children learn best by being active participants in the learning process.

We cordially invite you to observe our preschool classrooms and talk with our teachers. Please call and make an appointment to visit our licensed and accredited early childhood center.

Please do not hesitate to call us with any questions. Through the excellence of our director, staff, facilities, and program, Banner is prepared to give your child an outstanding preschool experience. Join us for our 34th year in the Wilmette-Glenview community.
