Barrington Public Schools Integrated Preschool Program
The Barrington Public Schools Integrated Preschool Program has been offered at Primrose Hill School since 1996. It is designed to provide a high-quality early childhood experience for preschool children. Certified teachers, teacher assistants, and therapists work with children with, and without disabilities, to provide a typical preschool experience, while addressing each child's needs.
Research shows that attending high-quality early childhood education programs help children develop important social and cognitive skills and knowledge that prepares them to succeed in school. From the time children walk into our preschool classrooms until the time they leave, they are actively engaged in learning. Intentional teaching means teachers apply research and evidence-based practices in the field of early childhood and plan their day to ensure that every child receives an enriching educational experience.
Applications for the 2024-2025 school year are now live. Please click here to access the applications. The preschool lottery will be held in April 2025. Families of accepted students will be notified via email in April 2025. If any additional spots become available, families will be notified in waitlist order. Learn more about below.
