The ABC Preschool program is dedicated to providing a coordinated and progressive educational experience tailored to meet the needs of each individual child. We take pride in our inclusive program, where children with special needs learn alongside their peers. Specialized services are integrated into daily activities, fostering development and growth for all students.
Through our partnership with Butler School District 53, we have early a special education teacher and speech/language, occupational, and physical therapists. These professionals collaborate with parents to support each child's learning journey. All staff members are certified in CPR and first aid.

Learning Should Be Fun | Children learn best through play and hands-on experiences that embed academic concepts naturally. |
Structured Yet Flexible | A consistent routine with opportunities for choice fosters independence and problem-solving skills. |
Individualized Learning | Every child is unique. We build on strengths and support diverse learning styles with music, movement, and interactive activities. |
Community & Emotional Growth | By celebrating differences and teaching social-emotional skills, we prepare children to be empathetic community members and lifelong learners. |
