Interested families are encouraged to request screening for their age-eligible students so their children can be considered for participation in tuition-based Blended Early Childhood Preschool when enrollment capacity allows.

Families also are encouraged to request a screening if they have any developmental concerns for their preschool-aged child. Please contact Willow Grove Administrative Assistant Kourtney Kollmorgen-Collette (email [email protected] or call 847-541-3660) to schedule a screening appointment.

BLENDED EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM
