Pre-Licensing Statement

Important Licensing Process Information

APA Prep Academy is currently seeking licensing from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) under Rule 407 licensing standards for child care centers.

As a proposed high-end learning environment, we are finalizing facility designs and academic programs to fully comply with all state health, safety, and learning requirements. Currently, no child care services are provided. We invite families to express pre-enrollment interest to help shape class sizes and start dates upon official licensing approval.

Our Core Commitments

Inclusive Learning Focus

An academy cannot be a true community without representing all children. We design our classroom resources, play spaces, and daily routines to support children of all cognitive, physical, and sensory abilities.

Our planned curriculum features adaptable elements, and our physical classrooms are built to encourage independent movement and confident interaction.

Support & Independence

"We are committed to supporting children of all abilities and promoting an inclusive early learning environment that encourages growth, confidence, and independence."
