Looking for a quality preschool in Skokie? Fantasy Island Schools for Kids is a multilingual daycare, preschool, and kindergarten located at 6100 N Milwaukee Ave in Chicago – just a short drive from Skokie. We serve children ages 2 to 6 with a gifted curriculum, small class sizes, and three freshly cooked meals included every day. Our bilingual staff speaks Polish, English, and Spanish, building strong language skills from day one.
Skokie is a diverse, multicultural community where families value education and embrace different languages and backgrounds. Our multilingual programs are a natural fit for Skokie parents who want their children to thrive in a bilingual learning environment while receiving a rigorous academic foundation.
Our daycare program gives toddlers a warm, structured introduction to group learning. Experienced caregivers guide children through play-based activities, early language development, and social interaction in a safe, homelike environment. Songs, stories, sensory play, and hands-on exploration fill each day – all in a multilingual setting with daily exposure to Polish and English.
Our preschool in Skokie builds on that foundation with a gifted curriculum covering literacy, math, science, social studies, and art. Children learn through experiential, hands-on activities with enrichment classes in music, dance, and cultural studies. Small class sizes ensure individualized attention from qualified, multilingual educators who help every child develop confidence and academic readiness.
Our kindergarten program prepares children for acceptance into gifted programs at local schools – and an overwhelming majority of our graduates achieve exactly that. The curriculum covers academic readiness, critical thinking, social-emotional growth, and collaborative learning. Children graduate from Fantasy Island confident, capable, and fully prepared for elementary school.
Skokie is one of the most culturally diverse suburbs in the Chicago area, with families from dozens of different backgrounds living side by side. Parents here understand the value of multilingual education and seek programs that reflect their community’s diversity. Here is why families in Skokie trust Fantasy Island Schools for Kids:
Our staff speaks Polish, English, and Spanish. Children experience full bilingual immersion throughout the entire day – during lessons, meals, songs, and play. For Skokie families who already speak multiple languages at home, our program reinforces and expands their child’s linguistic abilities. For English-only families, it opens a door to new cognitive advantages.
Our experiential, activity-focused curriculum does more than prepare children for kindergarten – it prepares them for gifted program acceptance. We develop creative thinkers and confident learners across the arts, sciences, and mathematics.
Three nutritious, locally sourced meals are cooked fresh on-site every day at no additional cost. Children develop healthy eating habits while parents save time and money on meal preparation.
Low student-to-teacher ratios mean individualized attention for every child. Our teachers know each child personally – their strengths, interests, and the pace at which they learn best.
