The Oakbrook Terrace Park District is excited to partner with School District 48 to introduce the new LEAP Preschool program! Extend your child’s preschool experience by joining us for an afternoon session if they attend a morning program, or start their day with us before heading over to Salt Creek Primary. Children can bring their lunch to enjoy during the break. (You do not need to be enrolled in School District 48 preschool to participate—all are welcome!)
Our recreation-based LEAP Preschool offers a safe, engaging, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. Activities are carefully designed to be developmentally appropriate, fostering self-confidence, independence, and individual growth. Your child will explore counting, number and letter recognition, name recognition, early literacy, science, and dramatic play, all of which help prepare them for kindergarten. All children must be toilet trained (no pull-ups). Join us for this exciting new program and watch your child learn, grow, and succeed!
Participant Information/Emergency Forms
- The Oakbrook Terrace Park District will be utilizing ePACT for participant information/emergency forms. Within 2 weeks of your child's registration, you should receive an email from ePACT to set up an account and complete your child's electronic information/emergency forms.
- Children will not be allowed to attend LEAP until the information/emergency forms are completed.
- If your child is enrolled in another OBTPD program that is currently using the ePACT system, you only need to update your child's information if something has changed.
