Since 1973, LCNS has been providing rewarding preschool programs that encourage children to learn through hands on discovery and play.
Carefully guided play helps a child to think critically, solve problems creatively and develop a positive attitude towards school.
Developmentally appropriate activities shape our curricula and allow young children to feel confident about themselves and the world around them.
We serve students in Lincolnshire, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Vernon Hills, Lake Forest and other surrounding communities.
LCNS is proud to be accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
