Bonnie McBeth Learning Center is the Preschool and Early Childhood program for Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202. The Center provides three- and four-year-old children with classroom activities that focus on total development including communication, cognitive, physical, and emotional skills. Through an integrated curriculum, students will study broad topics of interest as they develop the necessary skills of pre-reading, pre-writing, and other learning goals. As learning is driven by natural curiosity, children will construct knowledge from hands-on, thought-provoking experiences that challenge them to think.
All families must reside within District 202’s boundaries for their children to attend Bonnie McBeth Learning Center. The Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 boundaries service all or segments of Bolingbrook, Crest Hill, Joliet, Lockport, Naperville, Plainfield, and Romeoville as well as unincorporated Will and Kendall counties. If parents are unsure about residency, they may call the Center at 815-439-4288. If the family moves out of the boundaries of District 202, the preschool child cannot continue at the Center.
The Center’s calendar coincides with District 202’s Kindergarten schedule.
- Classes are in session Tuesday through Friday.
- The morning session is: 8:00 – 10:45 A.M.
- The afternoon session is: 12:15 – 3:00 P.M.
- Student drop-off begins 15 minutes before the start of school.
Bonnie McBeth Learning Center is open to children between the ages of 3 and 5 years whose families reside in the Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202. Each child must be age 3 before September 1. Special education students will be enrolled as they are determined to be eligible.
A $100 nonrefundable deposit is due at the time of registration. This will be applied toward the first months tuition. Monthly tuition is $225 and paid one month in advance. A 10% discounted monthly fee is applied to each additional sibling.
A free developmental screening is a service provided for all preschool children between the ages of three and five years of age who are residents of District 202. The screening assesses skills in personal-social development, communication, small and large muscle coordination, and cognitive development. Parents provide information regarding their child’s health and developmental history and any concerns to assist in determining the child’s needs. The purpose of the screening is to answer questions parents may have about their child’s development and to identify those children who may need further evaluation. An appointment for screening may be scheduled by calling 815-439-4288.
