Santa Claus Visits Creative Corners Preschool

Santa Claus visited children from the Des Plaines Park District’s Creative Corners preschool classes on December 16 and 17. They each took a turn sitting on Santa’s lap and let him know what they wanted for Christmas. Some of the most popular gifts requested this holiday season were Transformers, Play-Doh, and a yearly favorite, ponies.

Registration for the 2016-17 Creative Corners school year begins on Monday, March 14. Creative Corners preschool offers classes for three-year-olds and classes for four and five-year-olds. Each class meets twice a week, Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday, with the option of adding Fridays as well. Lunch Bunch, an afternoon preschool class for children ages three to five years, is available Monday through Thursday from noon to 2:00pm.

Registration is in process for all current Preschool/Early Childhood classes that begin week of January 4th.
