General Information
Private Kindergarten offers a full day schedule, that includes before and after school care along with special interest "workshops" and specific interest activities during all holiday breaks. There is no additional charge for this 6:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., coverage. Morning and afternoon outside play time, quiet time, hot lunch, and snacks, complete this well rounded program.
Children must be signed in and signed out. Please do not be offended if teachers ask to see identification before releasing your child. It may take a while to recognize all new parents plus others that may be authorized to pick up your child. Teachers will check I.D's against the Emergency and Authorized Pick Up sheet in your child's file. You may add anyone to this file at any time by writing a dated letter of authorization with your signature.
Your child's birthday will be celebrated on a school day that is the closest to his or her actual birthday. The birthday child will select a small gift from our treasure box, and of course, the class will sing "Happy Birthday." Parents may bring any store bought treat desired. LECC has a freezer for ice cream, and a large refrigerator. Large cookies and ice cream cups are a special favorite. If sheet cakes are selected they will be shown to the class prior to cutting the individual pieces.
LECC uses the well-known "Math Their Way" program to provide the children with a solid foundation of math concepts that are developmentally appropriate. The curriculum also emphasizes phonics, literature, nature and science, along with a strong language arts program. The whole class comes together at circle time to learn and interact. Children also learn in small groups [approximately 6 children] during "Center Time." The development of a philosophy couples a teacher's personality
and interest with experience and education. Philosophy must be in
harmony with the fundamental beliefs of the school. It is also
desirable to incorporate portions of various accepted early
childhood theories into a program tone and approach. The philosophy
of the Kindergarten program is based upon:

Philanthropic participation
provides opportunities for children to develop and
strengthen generosity traits along with other pro-social
values. During the holiday season, LECC has a special Gift of
Giving Program. Our facility takes pride in working as a team
(families, staff, and community) to join together to make the holiday
special to those in need. The children decorate cards and pack baskets,
which are
delivered to local agency's throughout Lake County. Used clothing and
toys are also collected and disbursed to local families in need. A new
toy drive is also conducted. Hundreds of new toys are delivered to
children in need in northern Illinois. The children's generosity is
acknowledged through an array of thank you notes from those who benefit
from their kindness. A wish list tree stands proudly in our hall for
families to fill holiday wishes for children in local foster care. Our
international connection includes our unity with the Abriendo Camino
school in the Dominican Republic. The Birthdays of Hope program gives
children an opportunity to donate there birthday gifts to help feed
children in Haitian schools. 
Pictures, especially baby pictures and
those with pets or siblings and family members are also requested.
The Star of the Week also will be featured on a bulletin board. If a
parent can spend some time during the Star's "reign," we ask that
you join us and talk to the class about your occupation.
