Early Learning Experience
Preschool for All at Rogy’s
Funded through the Illinois State Board of Education
Rogy’s Learning Place provides child
care services for infants through school-age children. In 2003, we became partners in the Preschool
for All initiative through the State of Illinois to provide enhanced
educational opportunities to three and four years olds that will prepare them
for future success in school. More
information about Preschool for All and the locations Rogy’s provides Preschool
for All enhanced services are listed below.
What
parents should know about Preschool for All:
Children
who get a high quality preschool experience are more likely to succeed in
school and in life. Studies show they
are more likely to graduate high school, earn more as adults, and are less likely
to need special education. By fostering social, emotional and thinking skills,
Preschool for All
helps prepare children for kindergarten and their school career.
How
do I know if my child is eligible?
All
children are eligible, but it will take time to build up to meet expected
demand. Initially, availability will vary based on local capacity and need and
certain eligibility criteria.
Enrollment in the program consists of the submitting of a Screening
Permission Form (developmental screening, Hearing and Vision), a Family
Questionnaire and a Brigance Screening by the teacher. The information gathered
from these informational resources help the Program Coordinator and Teacher
understand “where your child is in his/her development” and “where he/she needs
to go to reach his/her potential”.
How
long does the program run?
Preschool for All programs operate on a school-year basis; however, this may vary from program to program depending on where preschool is offered. At Rogy’s, we also provide full day, full year child-care for working parents.
