Our Registration Process
Our Philosophy
The preschool year is September through end of May. Registration
remains open as long as space is available. Registration is in person
and can only be done at the Community Center. To register a child for
Preschool, Tot Time or Prekindergarten, parents need to bring a birth
certificate or passport. Proof of immunization is required at the start
of class. All four year old pre-schoolers must be four by September
1. Three year old pre-schoolers must be three on or before their
start date. Pre-K must be 5 by March 4, 2016. All children need to be
toilet trained. If you have any further questions or would like a tour,
contact the Early Childhood Recreation Supervisor, Karrie Miletic for
more information at 847-818-3200, x237 or kmiletic@rmparks.org.
The Rolling Meadows Park District Early Childhood
Education Program is designed to provide a positive,
fun, first learning environment where children thrive.
By attending our program your child will:
Feel safe and accepted while developing social
and age appropriate developmental skills
Develop a love of learning, self-confidence
and the ability to problem solve
Progress at his/her own pace under the
supervision of experienced, nurturing teachers
Begin to feel a sense of community and
belonging through the friends he/she will make
Auto Withdrawal
