Family Life Program is the oldest and longest running church preschool in Downers Grove with over 49 years of nurturing children! Our Program has been NAEYC Accredited since 2002.
We offer a developmentally appropriate, child-initiated, child-directed environment based on the individual needs of each child.
In the downtown Downers Grove business district. We are a not-for-profit organization and part of the church's ministry with monthly tuition lower than the average for Downers Grove and DuPage County.
