About Us

Welcome to Little House Playschool! 

We are a small, play-based preschool and kindergarten serving families in the Grayslake/Round Lake area. We provide high quality education for little learners ages 3-6 years old.* Our small class size, cozy and welcoming "home away from home" environment, and loving teacher will make your little one's first years of school a positive one! ***New for the 2021 school year!  We will also be offering a 1st grade program. We will NOT be running a 3 year old preschool program this year but please check back the following year as we hope to be accepting new little ones at that time.

Why play-based?

We passionately believe in the power of PLAY and hands-on exploration!  We believe in preserving the magic and wonder of childhood. Our core philosophy is that children learn best when they are provided with the opportunity to engage in open-ended, child-led, and teacher-supported creative play. We are heavily inspired by Reggio, Montessori, and Nature based philosophies. At Little House Playschool, your little one is encouraged to explore, discover, wonder, imagine, and create as they investigate the world around them. Guided inquiries, interaction with their peers, small group and 1:1 instruction, as well as free play all support your child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. Our developmentally appropriate activities make learning fun, while inspiring life-long learners, and preparing your little one to succeed in the rest of their life's adventures!

​

Our mission is that Little House Playschool will be a safe, welcoming, nurturing, and happy place. We want your little one to love coming to school!
