Geneva Early Learning Program is an inclusive preschool community that offers a full continuum of services for children who are typically developing as well as students needing special education services. The program is a developmentally appropriate play-based preschool that follows the Illinois early learning standards and accepts tuition-based preschool students throughout the school year, if space is available.
"Families who attend this open house can meet our teachers, explore our classrooms, ask questions, and learn how Geneva 304 partners with families to foster a love of learning," said Jen Seaton, program director. "We are dedicated to preparing children, academically, socially, emotionally, and physically, for life and future learning. We look forward to welcoming children to the program and supporting them in this next step in their developmental journey."
Preschool teachers have a bachelor's and/or master's degree and hold a professional educator license with the Illinois State Board of Education with endorsements in either early childhood and/or special education. Several preschool teachers also have an endorsement in English as a Second Language.
Most classrooms have two full-time instructional assistants who are a licensed paraprofessional by the Illinois State Board of Education.
In addition, many of our instructional assistants are certified substitutes for the school district.
