Early Childhood Center Preschool provides enriching preschool options for two, three and four year-olds that are nurturing, allow children to grow through their natural instinct to explore, lay solid foundations of self-confidence and prepare them for elementary school.
Our programs, licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services, are based on the philosophy that children learn through play and experience. When given the opportunity, children will naturally explore, discover, learn to cooperate with others and develop strong self-esteem. Through a wide variety of experiences, children also develop their social, emotional and physical skills.
At the Early Childhood Center, children learn in a place where each child meets with approval and success. Our teachers offer children a variety of individual, small and large group activities. We strive for every child to have a positive learning experience. Each classroom conducts weekly studies, offering areas for blocks and dramatic play, small and large motor activities and quiet time, as well as experiences with music, art, literacy, phonemic awareness, math and science.
While our instructors offer each class an environment that gives children the opportunity to grow to their fullest potential, we also serve as a support system, helping to meet each individual family’s needs.
The Early Childhood Center follows the Wilmette Public Schools District 39 calendar of full days off, as well as one Park District staff in-service day.

Care After School
CARE After School is focused on providing quality childcare with independent homework and structured, play-based free time. We will bus your child from their school to the Community Recreation Center. CARE is available until 4:45 pm or 6 pm. *If your child would like to register separately for an afternoon Park District program at the Community Recreation Center, CARE staff will escort your child to and from their scheduled program.
Campus Club
Choose your own adventure! Every day, Campus Club participants choose from a lineup of unique exploratory classes designed to build life skills and encourage social and emotional development. Time is also allotted each day for independent homework and structure, play based free time activities. *NEW IN 24-25: Lakeview Center Campus Club is for Central & McKenzie School students! Lakeview Center will offer the same exciting exploratory classes, as well as a focus on outdoor adventure.
After School Clubs
After-School Clubs offer a wide variety of one-hour enrichment “clubs,” ranging from sports to science to music and much more! Families can choose to register for any available club. Clubs are only available to students enrolled at the host District 39 school. After-School Clubs are not guaranteed to run unless they meet their minimum registration requirement. Minimum requirements vary for each club. *After-School Clubs are enrichment activities; this is not a childcare program.
School Day Off
On most full days off from school, we offer School Day Off programs. Registration fills up quickly, don’t delay!
