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 will also have the opportunity to enjoy lunch during the break.
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!

Refunds
A full refund is granted if the Park District should cancel the program for any reason. No refunds are made available after September 1, 2025, unless a written doctor’s excuse is presented or the child has a special need that cannot be met by the Preschool curriculum and is placed in a program in their school district, or if the child has uncontrollable, undesired behaviors/physical aggression toward self or others, or if the Park District has determined that the program is not meeting the growth and development of the child. In these situations, a partial refund minus the deposit, office fees, and attended days would be deducted and a refund would be granted by the Park District.
