Our Experience Serving Families
LOC Preschool started almost twenty years ago with a commitment to serve the
ever changing needs of families and their children. We see ourselves as partners is
the development of our children and we are always looking for new ways to
support our parents.
Our Approach to Learning
We use the Wright Start early literacy program published by McGraw-Hill,
compatible with school districts 158 and 300. Our curriculum is literature and
interest based. Each classroom will emphasize number, letters, colors and shapes
simultaneously individualized for each stage of a child’s development. Our goals
include the discovery of a child’s learning style, then support of their growth and
development.
