Kinderhaven Preschool Academy is a developmental preschool for children ages 2 1/2 to 6, licensed by the State of Illinois. Our approach and curriculum has been influenced by the preschools of Reggio Emilia and are supported by short and long term projects that are inspired by the children's interests, knowledge of early childhood development and topics that are generally of interest to children. Imbedded in these projects are the tools and opportunities for all children to develop concepts and skills that will lead to a successful school experience and desire to learn. Our educators are dedicated Early Childhood Professionals committed to upholding our mission and goals.
Help us to foster curiosity and exploration among our children! Kinderhaven Preschool Academy is preparing for our biggest fundraiser of the year, Giving Tree.
Kinderhaven’s philosophy and educational approach are based on the preschools in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Its innovative curriculum is designed to foster a life-long love of learning by focusing on core values such as creative thinking, exploration and problem solving. Perhaps most notably, it has an ongoing focus on the concept of “compassion”. Starting at the age of 2.5, children are encouraged to participate in school-wide “compassion projects” through which they can give back to those in need – both locally and globally.
