Description: For more than 65 years, LCNS has been recognized as an innovator in preschool education and a pillar in the greater Libertyville area community.
This level of excellence can only come about when there is a continuing commitment that spans generations and welcomes newcomers. Our dynamic curriculum is based on fundamentals that have proven to be effective. Our well-credentialed staff of professional educators make learning personal and fun.
At LCNS, we firmly believe that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the passion for curiosity. The early love of learning develops and serves them throughout their lives. Our play-based approach capitalizes on the normal curiosity and interests of children.
LCNS is wholly dedicated to providing the encouragement and age-appropriate, child-centered curriculum that provides learning experiences to develop a child’s skills, confidence and overall aptitude. Learning through active participation brings meaning and interest to a child’s world.
Today, this dedication to innovation and excellence is more important than ever. As the Illinois elementary education system adopts the new Common Core curriculum standards, our students will need to apply sound learning methods while having confidence in their skills. In basic terms, Common core is about covering fewer subjects in more depth, so the focus is on repeatable learning skills and the ability to interact and communicate, rather than remembering details from a broad range of topics.
At LCNS, that dovetails with the educational philosophy we’ve advocated for years. Play-based learning is not only child-centered, but also child-initiated, where teachers act as facilitators within an active, collaborative environment. Children are guided through developmentally appropriate activities that encourage creative and purposeful investigation. Play-based learning promotes all areas of development, including language, self-regulation, fine/gross motor skills and cognitive functioning. In an effort to support all types of learners, we recognize that play is the work of the child.
