Poko Loko Early Learning Center

Overview

Poko Loko Early Learning Center in Libertyville offers infant, toddler, preschool and junior kindergarten care and education. The centre serves children from approximately six weeks up to kindergarten age and provides both full‑day and half‑day schedules.

Curriculum and programs

The program uses a theme‑based, developmentally appropriate curriculum that includes circle time, stories, music, art, and early literacy and numeracy activities. Classwork is structured to promote social skills such as sharing and cooperation as well as school readiness skills through activities, workbooks for older preschoolers, and occasional special guests or field trips.

Daily routine, meals and care

Daily schedules include morning arrival time, structured learning periods, lunchtime and a 2–3 hour nap/rest period on individual cots.
Meals are provided on site; the program supplies breakfast, lunch and two daily snacks with menus that parents may review and with accommodations for dietary restrictions when informed.
Small teacher‑to‑child ratios are maintained in younger groups and transitions to older rooms occur periodically with parent notification and a transition visit.
Parents are encouraged to communicate regularly with teachers; formal conferences are held twice a year and parents may visit during the day.
