Hands-On Learning From Preschooler To Kindergartener
Pre-K | 5 & 6's | Serving Evanston & Chicago, IL
Kindergarten-Ready
& Built to Thrive
We go beyond basic academics to nurture the whole child. At this age, your child is gaining independence and asking big questions—and we guide that growth by teaching resilience, empathy, and the courage to try new things. With structured support, we prepare them to step into Kindergarten with confidence.
Building Skills for
Big School Success
Five- and six-year-olds are connecting concepts, following directions, and exploring big ideas. Our Creative Curriculum® supports this development with literacy, math, science, storytelling, collaboration, and open-ended exploration. We build school readiness and a genuine love of learning that lasts well beyond the Pre-K year.

Real-World Learning
Happens Outside, Too
We take outdoor play seriously—because it’s serious learning. Our age-specific, turfed playgrounds let Pre-K students test boundaries, build leadership, and solve problems through active games and collaborative play. Outdoor classrooms with shaded tables, chalkboards, and gardens allow for exploration, science, and teamwork in fresh air and sunshine.

A Safe Place to Explore
& Grow Independently
Pre-K students crave independence, but they need the freedom to explore safely. We prioritize security with restricted access doors, cameras inside and out, fenced play spaces, and a CPR-certified team. With daily sanitizing, air purifiers, and hospital-grade cleaning, they stay safe so you can breathe easily. Feel free to check in anytime with your Procare® parent app!
