Our Turtles learn best in safe, loving places where they can explore in their
own way. The activities for this age group are built around their natural
curiosity and their desire to discover their own boundaries. Our Turtles are
constantly on the move as they gain independence through learned self-
help skills. As the Turtles discover how to interact with the world around
them, they gain social skills in order to share and help one another in the
classroom. The emphasis on social skills opens doors to developing strong
relationships with adults and peers.

AGES 2–5
THE EARLY LEARNING CENTER DIFFERENCE
Early Learning Center (ELC) has provided a strong foundation for Glencoe’s preschoolers for more than thirty-five years. Our goal for children is not just
school-readiness, but life-readiness. We are proud to be licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and to follow the Illinois
Early Learning Standards. The standards were developed with the support of hundreds of Early Childhood educators in order to provide developmentally
appropriate benchmarks. Our Early Learning Center teachers use this resource to guide classroom experiences and activities, providing a solid foundation
for developmental and experiential learning.
OUR EDUCATIONAL TEAM
We pride ourselves on our teacher’s ties to the community. The key component in accomplishing our mission is choosing individuals that can easily
blend in with our Early Learning Center family. Our educators have academic degrees in Child Development, Early Childhood or a related discipline, and
life experiences that encompass parenting and grandparenting. The ELC staff receives continuous development, support and training in and out of the
classroom. All staff completes fifteen hours of continuing education each year to understand the latest trends in early childhood education and child
development. The broad depth of knowledge enables the Early Learning Center to provide an exceptional preschool experience and allows your child to
trust, respect and bond with their teachers, in addition to meeting our high standards of education and experience.
OUR PHILOSOPHY AND CURRICULUM
The Early Learning Center philosophy is that children learn best through meaningful interactions with the world around them in a secure environment.
Learning is an active process, whether it happens during a teacher-guided group experience or during free choice play. We emphasize cognitive, social,
emotional and large and small motor development through our play-based curriculum.

Glencoe Junior Kindergarten (GJK) is a nurturing, vibrant preschool recognized for exceeding the standards set forth
by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
For the past 75 years, we’ve been teaching children through play and encourage close collaboration between school
and home.
Through loving, caring interactions, we focus on helping our students develop social-emotional skills, including
self-help, self-advocacy, independence, and resiliency. Our curriculum incorporates math, social studies, language,
literacy, writing, art, music, and gross-motor activities – all taught through play!
WHAT WILL MY CHILD LEARN AT GJK? S.M.I.L.E. MUSIC

growth is captured in an individual portfolio distributed to parents at the
end of the year.
