Friendship Station Preschool
Friendship Station is a joint program between the Geneva Park District and the Geneva School District. This inclusion program is staffed by Park District and School District employees and has benefited all of our preschoolers.
Philosophy
The preschool is guided by the philosophy of learning through play. Play is where the child learns how to share, create, cooperate, interact and solve problems. Because each child is individual and unique, emphasis is placed on developing a positive self-concept. In keeping with the guidelines of School District 304 regarding early learning and literacy, this preschool program will provide appropriate activities to enhance literary enrichment of the young child. Support for all children will be provided by loving, knowledgeable staff in a collaborative working partnership with family, Park District and School District.
