“ We had participated in a few programs through the Park District , so the Cary Park District Preschool seemed like the obvious choice when our oldest was ready to begin preschool . From the day he started he has had a smile on his face . He wakes up every day asking if he gets to play with his friends and teachers , and it ’ s amazing to watch him grow and learn . It ’ s also incredible to see how much he is cared for by his wonderful teachers who make each child feel special and loved . We feel so grateful to be a part of the Cary Park District Preschool family !” - The Horvath Family
