Family Involvement
District 58 believes parents are the child’s first and most important teachers. For this reason, Grove children’s Preschool embraces family involvement as a basic component of the preschool program. Research has shown that the greatest benefits are derived when parents and teachers work as partners to guide children in their growth, development, and education.
