PRESCHOOL INFORMATION

The District's Preschool Program classes are held at Flossmoor Hills Elementary School and Western Avenue Elementary School.

Students attend for 2 1/2 hours daily in the A.M. or P.M. sessions. The program is for students that have been identified as at-risk based on results from a developmental screening. District 161 provides free regularly scheduled screenings for district residents whose children are three to five years of age. The screening assesses the following skill areas: speech and language, gross/fine motor, self-help, vision/hearing, and cognition. All screenings are done by appointment.

All registrations and screenings are done by appointment. Please call the office of the Preschool Coordinator, Crystal Briney, at 708-647-7051 or by email at cbriney@sd161.org to set up a registration appointment. Once registration has been completed, your child will be scheduled for a screening appointment. Screenings are held approximately once a month.

All students must have completed registration before being scheduled for a preschool screening.
