We are a laboratory preschool, located within Glenbrook North High School. We have a well-equipped preschool classroom with materials that promote independence, problem-solving skills, pro-social skills, language skills, large/small muscle coordination, and a positive self concept. We also have a child sized toilet and sink as well as an extensive playground with sandbox. One advantage to being located inside a high school is that we also have access to all the facilities and experts a high school provides to a learning community. We have visited the autos departments during a unit on transportation, we played in our gymnastics gymnasium during our circus unit and we visit the GBN library monthly to read and check out books. High school students enrolled in one of two child development classes regularly come into the classroom to teach or simply help out under the supervision of Mrs. Kotlarz, the preschool teacher.

Our curriculum is play-based with a focus on socialization. The most important aspect of preschool is the development social skills, a skill that we use for the rest of our lives. We teach problem solving, conflict resolution and expressing ones self in an appropriate and effective manner. The preschool teacher creates a yearly theme calendar based around the interests of the children and the changes we see around us during seasons. Within each theme we practice math, reading, writing, science, social studies, art and cooking. We also focus on the academics of letter recognition, printing letters, shapes, colors, rote counting, understanding quantities of more, less and equal, and understanding time by reviewing a daily schedule and discussing the concept of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
