Where is Argyle Preschool located?

The school’s address is 7300 Belvidere Road, Caledonia, IL 61011.  We are located at Willow Creek Presbyterian Church, situated near the intersection of Belvidere Road and IL-173.

What do the children do while at preschool?  Do you follow a specific curriculum?

Developmentally appropriate activities and hands-on discovery drive our program and practices.  We do not follow a purchased program, instead our curriculum is developed around monthly themes that are of interest to the children.  Within these themes, attention is given to language development, social skills, math and reading readiness, physical development in both fine motor and gross motor skills, and just plain fun.

Being housed in a church, how is faith incorporated into the classroom?

At Argyle Preschool, we believe in the spiritual development of our children but realize that a family’s religious beliefs and convictions are a highly personal matter.  As such, we say a short child-appropriate prayer before snack and celebrate religious holidays (such as Christmas and Easter) in a respectful way, however we do not specifically teach religious material.

What does it cost to attend Argyle Preschool?

Tuition for children attending three days per week is $160 per month.  In addition to the monthly tuition fee, a non-refundable $75 registration fee is due at the time of registration.  This registration fee is due each year that a child attends Argyle Preschool.  Please note that enrollment forms received without a registration fee will be considered incomplete and will not be processed.
