We are one of the few preschools in Waukegan and the surrounding area that is accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, a division of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). This honor was earned by AAUW through its hard work and dedication to the education and well-being of children aged two through five and is your assurance that at AAUW your child will have the best that early childhood education has to offer.
