Empowering Children to Reach Their Full Potential
At L&L Academy and Preschool, we believe that every child is unique and deserves a nurturing environment to grow and develop. Our mission is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for children to explore, learn, and thrive. Our expert teachers are dedicated to creating a curriculum that is tailored to each child's interests and abilities, promoting physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth.
Our Approach
Our approach is centered around the idea that every opportunity is a learning opportunity. We believe that children learn best when they are engaged and having fun. Our teachers work hard to turn everyday activities into educational experiences that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Our emergent curriculum ensures that the children's interests and experiences always inspire our lesson plans and activities. We observe and communicate with our children to create lesson plans and facilitate activities that further their curiosity and challenge them to reach new milestones.
Holistic Development
At L&L Academy and Preschool, we understand that children develop in multiple ways, from cognitive and language skills to social-emotional and fine and gross motor skills. Our lesson plans are designed to focus on each area of development, incorporating creative and engaging art, music, and sensory experiences to allow our students to explore and manipulate new materials and experiences.
About Our Facilities
We have multiple locations in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and West Loop, each with its own unique character. Our East and West campuses are managed by different directors and offer a warm and welcoming environment. Our parents typically make a decision based on proximity to their house or family friends who recommended a particular center. Not sure if you have a school preference?
