The Pekin Community School District is expanding its early childhood program for the 2026-2027 school year, offering four-day-a-week preschool beginning next fall.
The expanded program will operate Monday through Thursday and will feature two preschool classrooms to serve more families.
The expansion is designed to better serve families and meet growing demand for early childhood education within the district.
“Our goal is to ensure every young learner has a strong start,” said Aaron Deutsch, Elementary Principal. “Expanding to a four-day model strengthens school readiness, supports consistent routines for students, and provides families with increased access to early childhood education.”
The additional classroom will allow more children to access high-quality early learning experiences within the district.
Additional details regarding enrollment, transportation, and programming will be shared with families in the coming weeks.
For questions about the expanded preschool program, families can contact the Pekin Elementary office.
