Pre-School

 

Hazel Crest School District 152.5 has a full day Preschool program at Barack Obama Learning Academy & Jesse White Learning Academy. The program is a Preschool for All (PFA) Program which is a state grant which provides funds for early childhood and family education programs and services that will help young children enter school ready to learn.


This program provides screening and educational programs for children ages 3–5 based on the following priorities: 1) children who have been identified as being at risk of academic failure, 2) children whose family's income is less than four times the poverty guidelines, and 3) other children.

All students eligible for enrollment in the program will be screened and determined eligible based on at-risk criteria.
