The Growing Place is a community-based preschool in Lombard, Illinois, affiliated with Community Presbyterian Church that offers licensed early childhood programs aligned with the Illinois Early Learning Standards for children from approximately age two through pre-kindergarten.
The Growing Place Preschool is a community preschool founded in 1972 and associated with Community Presbyterian Church. The program is licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and states that its classrooms follow the Illinois State Early Learning Standards.
Instruction is play-based with an emphasis on choice time so children can develop at their own pace.

The preschool maintains staff training and safety procedures including continuing education for teachers, licensed student-to-teacher ratios, CPR/first-aid certification, mandated reporter procedures, child protection training, allergy protocol and licensed food-service management.
