Winnetka Community Nursery School offers play-based classes for young 2’s, older 2’s, 3’s, and junior kindergarten, focusing on all domains of development, including language, cognition, physical (both fine and gross), social and emotional. By fostering play, WCNS seeks to develop self-confidence, an ability to cooperate with others, and a readiness to progress into kindergarten and beyond. Additionally, WCNS has a rich history in the Winnetka Community. The school was founded in 1943 during the Second World War by a group of Winnetka residents who saw the need to provide care for children whose mothers wished to take part in the war effort. Over its 75 years connecting families and brightening the days of Winnetka’s youngest residents, WCNS has also extended the importance of play to the greater community each year with its deep-seated Chicagoland’s vibrant, engaging independent school for junior kindergarten through grade 12. tradition of the Winnetka Children’s Fair. This beloved fundraiser involves a lot of hard work and dedication on the part of WCNS families, faculty, and staff, but endless smiles, long naps, forged friendships, and life-time memories are more than worth the effort. When your family joins WCNS, you become a part of a committed and caring community. WCNS encourages family involvement through a variety of school and classroom opportunities. Parents may serve on the board of directors, volunteer as a room parent, or get involved with schoolwide fundraising efforts that impact the entire community. Furthermore, throughout the school year, many activities are planned to promote relationships among WCNS families, including: Corridor Coffees, Family Fall Fest, Weekend Popsicle Party, PJ Story Time, Family Winter Gatherings, Mom’s Night Out, End-of-Term Classroom Picnics, and the Parent Party and Benefit. The ultimate goal is to promote and strengthen our connections both inside and outside the classroom. WCNS’ programs offer everything you need to introduce your little ones to the schooling experience.

22ndCenturyMedia.com private school guide 22nd century media | August 9, 2018 | 15 St. Joseph School Wilmette offers pre-K through eighth grade Located at the corner of Ridge and Lake Avenue in Wilmette, St. Joseph School offers 2-yearold preschool through eighth grade. We believe in the advantages a preschool through eight grade school provides during the most critical years of a child’s intellectual, social and emotional development. Students experience a supportive, spiritual, and nurturing environment with opportunities to learn, explore and lead. It is a school where everyone knows your name – faculty and staff, students and families. Numerous studies show advantages for students of all grade levels who attend a preschool through eighth grade school. By having continuity of teachers, peers and programs, students excel both academically and socially and experience improved self-esteem and confidence. Also, schools with a wider range of ages have been shown to have lower incidents of bullying (Citation: The Atlantic). Academic benefits include higher standardized test scores than peers in traditional middle schools. Social benefits include closeknit, supportive classmates where everyone cheers each other on and respects one another for their talents and differences Leadership opportunities include a buddy program where middle school students work with younger students on special projects, reading programs, and develop spiritual practices and younger students have the opportunity to learn from older students. Research from the American Educational Research Journal identifies the benefits of K-8 schools, especially for middle school students. When compared to the traditional middle school model of grades 6-8, research shows that adolescent students (ages 12-14) who attend K-8 schools perform at higher levels than their traditional middle school peers, with both the academic and social/emotional needs of students better met at K-8 schools. Research shows that students who attend K-8 schools: • Experience higher levels of self esteem • Feel safer, with less discipline and behavior problems threatening their education • Have a positive attitude toward school • Have higher levels of academic achievement • Experience more core instructional time, allowing for greater exploration and integration, rather than a focus on strictly content, departmentalization and adherence to a rigid schedule • Have significantly higher scores in reading, language arts, and mathematics • Do not experience loss of achievement because of disruptive transitions • Experience better outcomes in ninth grade •Grounded in tradition, St. Joseph School welcomes families of all faiths.
