Welcome

“An amazing academic adventure — blending indoor excellence, outdoor discovery, and Common Core success.

Still deciding on the right school for your child?
Wondering if your child might benefit from an extra year before entering 1st grade?

We understand that this is an important decision — and every child develops at their own pace.

At Long Grove Country School, we have been serving families in our community since 1987. Our small class sizes, individualized attention, and balanced indoor and outdoor classrooms allow us to meet children exactly where they are — academically, socially, and emotionally.

Whether your child is ready for 1st grade or would benefit from a strong, confidence-building Kindergarten year, we would love to partner with you.

We recently completed a new building to thoughtfully expand our programs and continue growing alongside this incredible community.

Come visit us and see what makes LGCS different.

Our Sr. Kindergarten meets all of the Common Core Standards required by the public schools.  LGCS Kindergarten has a smaller class size which allows us to differentiate the program to appropriately challenge each student to their potential.     One of the benefits of private Kindergarten is that it allows families an extra year to decide if their child's next academic step is 1st or Kindergarten in a public school.    This class will max out at 16 students.  Please complete the form below to register.  

Class have a maximum of 16 students.

Students will continue to develop their academic skills in this Kindergarten prep program.  While we are continually challenging the students academically in PreK, we also focused on helping our students grow their social, emotional, gross motor, fine motor and independence skills.    

Options:  3-5 Full-Days (9am-2pm) or 3-5 Extend-Days (8am-4pm) options are available for this program.  Please complete the form below to register now. 

Students will love their first introduction to school in our themed-based Preschool program.  Students are introduced to new academic concepts in a nurturing environment that fosters academic development and social bonds with new friends. Students may begin as soon as they turn 3 years old and are potty trained.
