Chicago Preschooler Friendly Classes

The Chicago area has numerous opportunities for your young child to learn, have fun and make friends in classes ranging from art, music, tumbling, dance, and more. You'll find a range of park district classes to private enrichment classes, many offered on weekends for flexible scheduling. Some classes and schools also include offerings for families with multi-age siblings.

You may want to inquire about session length, financial aid opportunities and class make-up policies. It may also be a good idea to inquire about age appropriateness for your child, since children's abilities and development often vary individually.

The socio-emotional development of your preschooler usually reaches a point during their third year that allows for productive sharing. Preschoolers more readily play with their peers rather than along side them. The parallel play they experienced as toddlers has given way to more interactive play. There are, however, some preschoolers who have a very difficult time sharing toys, time and equipment, even if the items don’t belong to them.
