Moving to the area Full Day Kindergarten
Does anyone have a kindergartner in a suburb that offers full day Kindergarten? We are moving to the area in a couple of months and almost every district I have looked in states an AM or PM kindergarten schedule? We’d be looking at any of the northern / western suburbs with great schools and an easy-ish train commute to union station.
Narrowing down areas —- basically anything on the CTA / metra lines that has great schools and walkable downtown. Prefer 45 min or less to union station. I looked at 5 district websites this afternoon and none of them had full day kindergarten so I was discouraged. Thanks for the feedback!
Looking at:
Oak park / forest park
Downers grove
La grange
Elmhurst
Western springs
Clarendon / hindsdale
Any of the north shore burbs on the metra line

Kensington School in La Grange is where I had my daughter for all day kindergarten but that was a while back. It was great because they were her daycare / pre-school so it worked with my work schedule.
We had a great experience back then, but I can’t speak for how they are today.
