Atonement Christian Day School

Overview

Atonement Christian Day School provides year-round early childhood care and preschool education in Barrington. The programme serves children from infancy through early elementary ages and operates both full-day and part-day schedules. Programming incorporates Christian religious instruction alongside typical early learning activities.

Curriculum and approach

Instruction is delivered through a play-based, multi-sensory programme that emphasizes self-help skills, social respect, exploration and hands-on learning in science and math. The preschool curriculum combines a range of established resources and approaches, including Handwriting Without Tears, Jolly Phonics and Letter People, Creative Curriculum, High Scope, Frolic and Spark/Godly Play for religious education, and Second Step for social-emotional learning. The programme is aligned with Illinois early learning standards and references CDC developmental milestone guidance.

Programs, routines and policies

Program types listed include full-day care (year-round with extended hours), part-day preschool options, an Early Learning Center (ELC) partnership serving at-risk preschool students in the Barrington 220 district, and multi-week themed summer camp.
Summer camp runs by themed weeks in June–August; full-day campers receive two snacks and a catered lunch, half-day campers receive one snack, and specific age and potty-training requirements apply for camp participation.
Daily routines use the Procare app for electronic sign-in and sign-out. Drop-off and pick-up require adults to escort children into the building, enter via the main entrance (staff release perimeter doors), and sign using Procare; the site notes perimeter doors remain locked and that the premises are under 24/7 video surveillance.
Menus for snacks and lunches and an academic and events calendar are published in advance. A range of registration, medical, policy and emergency procedure forms are maintained for families.
