Village Preschool

When I was doing my research for preschools in Arlington Heights for my first born, Village Preschool was at the very top of my list. I had always heard wonderful things about it from other moms in the community. We are now about to complete our first year over there and I honestly could not be happier with my choice. My daughter has grown so much, and has been so cared for along the way. There are so many hands-on learning stations for the kids to learn and explore. During the year, they’ve been able to learn through kinetic sand, water table, large and small motor activities, reading, writing, games, and so much more. They had a firefighter visit to teach them about fire safety, a librarian visit their school to foster their appreciation for books and reading, and they also learned about caterpillars turning into butterflies by witnessing it firsthand. I feel a school is only as good as its teachers and staff, and the teachers at Village are true gems - so warm, nurturing, and knowledgeable. They all have been at the school for many years, and they make learning so fun and age appropriate. The director of the school is also superb; a very organized woman whose door is always open and is willing to answer any questions I’ve had throughout the year. She does a wonderful job communicating with parents through newsletters and notes about upcoming events at the school. We are always greeted with smiles by the whole staff. You can tell they all want to be there and love what they do, not just one day but everyday. There is also a great weekly music class that the kids attend, and there are 2 music performances that the kids put on for their families. This is a great way for the kids to become comfortable in front of large groups. I highly recommend Village Preschool to everyone I meet since we’ve had such a positive experience there. You know it’s a special place when my younger one who is 18 months never wants to leave when we drop off her older sister at school!

Village Preschool is a wonderful place. The teachers are so caring and dedicated to their students. Our children love going to school, and the play-based curriculum is the perfect combination of learning and fun. Our youngest child is starting in the Fall, and she is so excited to finally get to go there!

All 3 of my children have gone to Village Preschool. From the friendly staff to the warm greeting that you receive from the director every time. The classrooms are clean. The curriculum is full of fun, hands on projects from science, math, art and story time. They have an outstanding music program with two really cute performances during the year. They also have an awesome lunch program that goes from 11:30-2. My son is currently in the pk-3’s class and begs me to sign him up for lunch every time we are there. My older two children love to visit and see their teachers they had.

Village preschool is a wonderful place. The people make it extraordinary. I have been coming to Village for 10 years. Every year is different, it is not the same plan over and over. I am a long time nanny and love the environment of Village. Every child I have enrolled is different and I believe the staff at Village is fantastic with everyone of them. There is no falling in the crack here. They are knowledgeable and make time to talk to you. I would recommend Village if you want your child to love school.

We have been at this preschool for 3 years and can't speak enough kind words. Each and every single teacher is loving, patient, kind, and just all around wonderful. My daughter gets excited to go to school and is sad when she doesn't go over the weekend! The play based learning is such a wonderful environment and you can tell how much the teachers care for each student. The option to sign up for lunch that day has been a life saver on many occasions! Thank you Village for being my daughters "village" these last 3 years!
