District 181 Preschool Openings Available

Residents of Community Consolidated School District 181 are invited to register for the District’s Preschool / Early Childhood Education Program. The program is a blended classroom for 3-5 year-old students with and without disabilities. Classes are held at Oak School (950 S. Oak Street, Hinsdale) and run Monday through Friday. Morning sessions are open to three year-old children, while afternoon sessions are open to four year-old children. Limited openings are still available for the 2013-14 school year.

Students are co-taught by two certified early childhood teachers who also hold certification in special education. An integrated service approach is utilized with a speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, social worker, certified school psychologist, and an English Language Learners teacher, all collaborating to meet students’ diverse learning needs.

To be enrolled, children must be three years old by September 1, 2013, reside within District boundaries, and be toilet-trained. Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Families with a child currently enrolled in a District 181 school do not need to provide proof of residency at the time of registration, though current families are required to update and provide residency documents. New families must provide proof of residency at the time of registration.
