KinderStop & Before/After School Care
The KinderStop program is operated by the Prospect Heights Park District, in cooperation with School District 23. The program is a half day enrichment program (AM & PM KinderStop) offered to our Creative Kids Preschool (4 year old classes only), School District 23 Pre-K (4 year old classes only), and Kindergarten classes. This is a great opportunity for your child to extend their day, in a small friendly environment. Participants will enjoy indoor and outdoor free play as well as planned crafts & games.
Additionally, we are able to offer Before (School) and After (School) Care to our Creative Kids Preschool (4 year old classes only), School District 23 Pre-K (4 year old classes only), Kindergarten, and 1st grade classes. During Before Care, staff will watch over students as they wake up and play, as well as make sure they are on the school bus to Eisenhower School. During After Care, staff will watch over students as they have snacks (provided by parents) and play. Staff will also be setting up organized games outside and/or in the gym as well.
School District 23 will provide transportation for Pre-K, kindergarten, and first grade participants. Parents are responsible for notifying School District 23 that your child is enrolled in KinderStop and will need transportation.
KinderStop does not meet on days when School District 23 is not in session.
