Lake County Tech Campus

Overview

Our preschool program features developmentally appropriate theme-based learning in a caring atmosphere. Hands-on, sensory experiences are used to help understand concepts in pre-reading, writing skills, math skills, problem-solving, and oral skills.  Our art projects focus on the learning process. To meet the individual needs of each preschool child we structure our instruction around a small group style. Fostering self-esteem in each child begins with the caring, nurturing, and low child-to-teacher ratio that we provide. 

The curriculum focuses on many themes that encourage children to build on their natural curiosity about the world around them including important life skills like cooperation, problem-solving, following directions, and respect for others.

Purpose

The Technology Campus Preschool serves as a training experience for high school juniors and seniors who wish to prepare for careers in the Early Childhood Education field. Children attend this preschool as part of the high school students’ learning experience.

The Technology Campus Preschool complies with Illinois State Licensing Standards. The facility includes two preschool classrooms, two high school classrooms, a conference room, and a fenced-in outdoor play area. To learn more about our teachers, head to the bottom of the page!
