Welcome to D49 Early Childhood Education!
District 49 offers a high-quality, inclusive preschool program that serves the developmental needs of children, starting at age 3 until they are eligible for kindergarten. We welcome students who reside within D49 boundaries. Children must be potty trained unless they receive special education services through our district. Our classrooms are designed to support children’s learning through guided play opportunities in a nurturing and caring environment. Our students learn to develop healthy skills in social-emotional, learning, communication, self-help, and coordination.
Community Developmental Screenings for Preschool-Age Children
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) guidelines recommend the screening of young children to identify those who may have special learning or developmental needs, as well as to plan appropriate curriculum and instruction.
District 49 Early Childhood Education staff will be offering developmental screenings (to include vision, hearing, and dental) for children between the ages of 2 years and 9 months until they are eligible for kindergarten (child is 5 before October 1st of that year). Screening will be by appointment only. Appointments can be scheduled by clicking here or on the Screening Appointment link below.
If your child has developmental delays, is at risk of having a developmental delay due to a diagnosed medical condition, or has an educational disability, please contact our Child Find office by emailing firstname.lastname@example.org.
