Wonderful Days Preschool is located at St. James Episcopal Church. Wonderful Days has been around for over 50 years. Every year we help 32 four-year-old's get Kindergarten ready!

Wonderful Days is a tuition-free preschool program that features all bi-lingual teachers, two free meals a day and transportation from a central location to Wonderful Days.

Currently, the majority of our students are zoned for Hickory Hills, but Park Street ES families could benefit greatly from this free program, just like others schools have for the last 50 years.

We would love to invite Park Street to visit our Wonderful Days school, so you could see the great work our teachers do four days a week getting our students prepared for Kindergarten. We could do a school visit any day Monday-Thursday 9:30 to Noon.

El preescolar Wonderful Days está ubicado en la iglesia episcopal St. James. Wonderful Days existe desde hace más de 50 años. ¡Cada año ayudamos a 32 niños de cuatro años a prepararse para el jardín de infantes!

Wonderful Days es un programa preescolar gratuito que cuenta con maestros bilingües, dos comidas gratis al día y transporte desde una ubicación central hasta Wonderful Days.

Actualmente, la mayoría de nuestros estudiantes están ubicados en la zona de Hickory Hills, pero las familias de Park Street ES podrían beneficiarse enormemente de este programa gratuito, tal como lo han hecho otras escuelas durante los últimos 50 años.

Nos encantaría invitar a Park Street a visitar nuestra escuela Wonderful Days, para que pueda ver el gran trabajo que hacen nuestros maestros cuatro días a la semana preparando a nuestros estudiantes para el jardín de infantes. Podríamos hacer una visita a la escuela cualquier día de lunes a jueves de 9:30 a mediodía.
