We Know How to Make Learning Fun For Kids

At ABC Preschool, we believe in fostering a learning environment that engages children through hands-on experiences, interactive lesson plans, and social interaction. Our programs are designed to encourage children to learn by doing, promoting a love for exploration and discovery.

We prioritize your child’s growth through four key pillars. Physical development enhances motor skills, while Academics stimulate cognitive growth. Language skills foster communication, and Social and Emotional development teaches emotional understanding and effective social interactions. These pillars lay the foundation for holistic development.

A Message

From Our Assistant Director

“I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher. I have felt that it was in my genes, and I had a passion for educating young children. I attended Millikin University and completed my education degree and licensure. I realized that early childhood education was the area I felt called to and came to join the family business here at ABC Preschool. After 15 years as an early childhood educator, I have realized we have a unique model here. We offer so many opportunities for growth and development of young minds while having a family atmosphere. We are truly invested in all our children’s futures.”
