Openings for Kiddie Play Tyme Preschool

The Stickney Township Youth Commission’s Kiddie Play Tyme Preschool Program is a progressive program consisting of four eight-week sessions throughout the school year.  This affordable program is held at the North Clinic, 6721 W. 40th Street, in the Village of Stickney.

The KPT Preschool Program promotes kindergarten readiness and is designed to provide children with an opportunity to explore, play and create while enjoying a variety of activities in a safe environment.  Weekly themes centered on letters, numbers, shapes and color recognition involve the use of toys, games, puzzles and art materials to explore different ways for children to learn, play and use their imaginations. 

Creative expression is encouraged through crafts, music and dramatic play, and age-appropriate social skills are developed.  Children 2½-5 years of age are eligible for the program and all children must be toilet trained.

Sessions run as follows: 
Session 3:  January 16-March 9; Session 4: March 12-May 11, 2012.  2½-3 year old children meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 4-5 year old children meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  There are two class times per day to choose from, 9:00-11:00 am and 12:30-2:30 pm. 
The cost is $25 per child per session for 2½-3 year old children and $30 per child per eight week session for 4-5 year old children.  Parents who present with a valid IDHS issued medical card showing the parent (not just the child) as the insured will pay half the cost of each session (either $12.50 or $15.00).

Some openings are still available.  Documentation required for enrollment includes child’s birth certificate, current immunization record and completed enrollment packet. 

This program is limited to residents of Stickney Township.
