With Gov. Blagovich's preschool plan, all kids get to attend preschool now, not just at risk. My daughter is very high, before the bill was passed, as a 3 year old, we had to go private, since the bill was passed, she is in the public preschool in Thornton and at the screening, it was stated that with the new bill, all kids get to attend preschool for free in the public schools. this website will give you all the info, your child deserves to go to preschool in the public school since the state is giving so much money for this program. Know your rights! I am teacher, so I push all parents to put their kids in school and not pay education they should recieve for free!
