Welcome to Learning Connections of Galesburg! Our Galesburg site is the second Learning Connections early education center in Illinois. The mission of the Learning Connections Corporation is to provide the highest quality early learning for children in our area while operating a cutting edge not for profit organization which will improve the overall lives and learning outcomes of each and every student attending.
Once you are offered a spot a packet will be available to you with all the necessary paperwork for your child. Before we can get started on this early education partnership, the forms must be completed. You will also need to schedule an appointment with your child’s pediatrician as all children must have a current physical on record in our office and all immunizations must be up to date. This includes the Varicella (chicken pox vaccine), as well as a TB and lead test or waiver. You will need to produce a certified copy of your child’s birth certificate and we will make a copy for our files.
Please let us know if you have questions regarding the enrollment paperwork.
We currently have two infant classrooms. Children are in the infant room from ages 6 weeks to approximately 14-15 months. The toddler room serves children from ages 14-15 months to two years. At two years, children transition to the twos room. We also have three preschool classrooms: an early preschool classroom and two preschool classroom. Our preschool classroom focuses specifically on kindergarten readiness skills, and each child receives an individualized kindergarten readiness plan that has been created with input and guidance from our area elementary schools. We also offer a summer camp program starting in June, July and into August. Visit our curriculum page to meet our teachers and see what our children are currently learning.
