"Long Grove Country School is a unique school, situated on a historic farm in Long Grove, IL. Children are surrounded by nature, rescue farm animals as well as a kind and caring teachers. I'm amazed at all my daughter has learned. The teachers are incredible and have been so helpful and supportive with her health needs." - Cathy Carpenter - LGCS Parent
Curriculum
Theme-Based lessons and activities are based on the literature for the day. Each week, the students are introduced to a new letter, song, science, and math while working on fine and gross motor skills.
Nurturing Environment
The goal of Preschool is to help instill a love of education and learning. Our goal is to help develop the whole child - academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Discipline
At this age there is more of an emphasis on teaching the students how to share and be good friends than discipline.
Enrichment Programs
Our programs are open to all school districts and designed for both afterschool care and enrichment. Families can choose from a variety of clubs focused on STEM programs, literature, science, Chess, art, and music or families have the option to let their child have some down time after school and enjoy supervised exploration of our 5 acres filled with outdoor adventures, animal encounters, and just being a kid.
Dedicated Staff
We feel very fortunate to have a wonderful staff of professional teachers that have been with us for years.
Animal Rescue
LGCS is home to a family of rescue animals, such as cows, ponies, ducks, bunnies, chickens and more.
