Located just north of Jackson Middle School, the new Early Childhood Center will become the new home for our existing early childhood programming. Completion is expected by August 1, 2022.
The Early Childhood Center is a major part of the $30 million referendum registered voters in the D45 community overwhelmingly passed in March of 2020.
District 45 utilizes The Creative Curriculum for Preschool (5th Edition) in our Early Childhood program.

The Arts – dance, music, dramatic play, drawing, and painting
