What We Provide for Preschool Teachers
We work closely with teachers at all of the Park Ridge schools by providing access to supplemental classroom materials, supporting the curriculum, and collaborating on programs that develop information literacy skills and a love of learning and reading.
Reading Clubs
We have a reading club for every child and every season. Join our reading clubs to be a part of a reading community and earn patches, stickers, prizes, and more!
School Loan Request Form
Park Ridge schoolteachers, please submit requests using the School Loan Request Form. If you need further assistance, please contact the Children’s Department at 847-720-3250.
Enrichment Fair
Thank you to everyone who attended our annual Preschool & Enrichment Fair this year! Representatives from more than 25 organizations were on hand to help attendees in choosing the best setting for their child. Local preschools and daycares were represented, as well as educational and enrichment programs in our area.
