Dear Preschool Families,

Can you believe the school year is already at an end? We want to send a huge THANK YOU to every one of our families for a truly fantastic year.

Your wonderful support, enthusiasm, and partnership have meant the world to us. We are so proud of all the milestones, big and small, that your children achieved this year. It has been a joy watching them grow!

For our families returning in the fall, we can’t wait to see you again! For those moving on to new adventures, we wish you all the very best—please come back and visit!

From the entire Early Learning Center Staff, we wish you the best days of summer filled with laughter, sun, and lots of fun!

Sincerely,
Barb Golik
Principal

Registration

Registration for the 2026-2027 school year opened in March! If you haven't yet completed the registration process for your child, please do so as soon as possible to secure their spot.

You can find all the step-by-step instructions and requirements on our Registration Webpage.

Here are a few critical updates regarding the registration process and the upcoming school year:

AM/PM Placements
For families who have fully completed the registration process, AM/PM placements will be emailed home in mid-July. To ensure you receive your placement on time, please make sure all of your paperwork is finalized.

Special Note: "School Pickup" Policy
Due to our new student early sign-up policy, a new option—School Pickup—has been added to the registration system.

Important: Emergency contacts must have the "School Pickup" option selected in order for our staff to release your child to them. Please review your family and emergency contact information carefully when registering to ensure your approved pickups are authorized.

Summer Office Hours & Assistance
If you need any help with the registration portal or have questions about your paperwork, the front office is here to help!
  • Summer Access: Assistance is available by appointment only during the summer months.
  • Please contact us at 847-827-4165 or firststeps@emsd63.org to schedule a time to come in.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this, so we can ensure a smooth start to the new school year for all of our students!
