Keppler Preschool

The West Chicago Park District's Keppler Preschool focuses on the developmental needs of children from three to five years old. Keppler Preschool is designed to give children the tools and experiences necessary to assure a positive transition to Kindergarten. Our program offers a warm, nurturing, and friendly environment where children can explore, create, and flourish. Socialization skills and independence are developed through a variety of daily skills and exercises. Our philosophy is that all children learn through hands-on experiences, exploration and positive interactions with others. Every child is unique and will develop at their own pace. Keppler Preschool fosters an environment that will help all children succeed emotionally, physically, and socially. Keppler Preschool is held at Zone250 (250 W. National Street).
