Welcome to Glasser Preschool of Oak Park

The Glasser Preschool creates a nurturing and stimulating first school experience for young children. The teachers provide a day balanced between planned activities and free choice; quiet time and physical play; group activities and individual attention.

We maintain a low student/teacher ratio.

Children do not have to be potty trained. When the child is ready, the teachers will work with the parents to make potty training a success.

Our program is located in, and is a reflection of Oak Park Temple. The school observes Jewish holidays and teaches Jewish customs and traditions. All children, however, are welcome regardless of race, religion, or national origin.
