Glasser Preschool creates a nurturing and stimulating first school experience for young children. Our play-based program provides 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 and have extremely low staff turnover. Children do not have to be potty trained. When your child is ready, our teachers will work with you to make potty training a success.

Our program is located in, and is a reflection of, Oak Park Temple. All children are welcome regardless of race, religion, or national origin. We observe Jewish holidays and teach Jewish customs and traditions alongside our play-based curriculum.

Registration for the 2026-2027 school year is open!

**NEW: Program hours will be extended to 3pm!**

What do families say about Glasser?

"It's hard to put into words how special Glasser is. Ultimately, what any parent wants from a preschool is to know that their child is being loved and nurtured. At Glasser there is no finger crossing needed." ~Marybeth
"As a family, we can be ourselves at Glasser -- on the good days and the hard -- because everyone we've met through Glasser is warm, kind, and supportive." ~Katie
"My son has thrived in this environment because of the bright, caring, creative teachers, the attentive staff, and the warmth of the families and community surrounding the school." ~Lauren
"As a non-Jewish family I wasn't initially sure if we would feel out of place, but from the first day of school we have felt nothing but welcomed by the community." ~Catie
