The Primary Program provides stimulating activities for children who are four by September 1, 2008 and entering Jr. Kindergarten through grade 1. These activities are carefully chosen by the professional staff to encourage growth in all areas of development. Activities are constructed in a child-centered environment and arranged around the needs of the group.

Teams of classroom teachers and aides have been assigned to Greeley School. Children will use all available resources to further develop skills they have acquired. They will be engaged in art, physical-motor development activities, nature study, creative dramatics, children’s literature, reading activities, and number experiences for enjoyable skill development. Special consideration will be given to the social, emotional and intellectual needs of each age group. Teachers will conduct activities outdoors as often as possible.

The Primary Program will be housed at Greeley School, 275 Fairview, Winnetka. The program is held Monday - Friday, beginning at 8:45 a.m. and ending at 11:45 a.m. Instructions about Greeley School use, parking, and teacher assignment will be sent with registration materials in June. Please telephone the school, 446 – 6060 if your child is absent.
