Back to school picnic

In August, Christ United Methodist Preschool will hold a Back to School Picnic.  Students can tour their classroom, meet their teachers, and bring in any items needed to be prepared for the start of school.  Parents will be given a colorful flip book that contains important information that you may easily refer to it throughout the school year.  Once you have reviewed the flip book please stop into or call the office at 815-398-1458 if you have further questions.

health information form/Birth certificate

All students must have their current health information form on file in the front office.  Illinois Department of Human Service Medical Forms can be picked up at the preschool or obtained from your pediatrician's office.  


Parents must provide a copy of your child's certified birth certificate.  Bring the official certificate into the office and the staff will be happy to make a copy for you.


If you have any questions, please ask Debbi Thurston.
