About OES Preschool

Welcome to our Lincoln Preschool - Early Childhood Education Program!

Lincoln Preschool is made up of Preschool For All, Preschool For All Expansion, and Developmental Preschool classrooms.  Our programs run 5 days a week and work with daycares, Headstart, and families for bussing needs within the OES district. Each classroom has a minimum of one teacher (type 04 certificate) and one teaching assistant. PFA/PFAE classrooms are blended, serving both general education and special education peers aged 3-5. Any child ages 3-5 can apply for our programs. We also transition students from Early Intervention into our preschool program, continuing with any services needed.  We have 9 sections of half-day preschool, 1 section of developmental preschool, and 1 section of full-day preschool. Our special education team offers developmental, speech/language, occupational, and physical therapies, if eligible. Preschool For All and Preschool For All Expansion programs are free preschool programs, funded by the State of Illinois.
