We're not a franchise. We're your neighbors—teachers who live here, families who play here, and an academy built around the rhythms of our own community.
Teachers who live in Naperville, families who play in our parks, and a program built for our community.
We're not the biggest preschool in town—on purpose. That's why you'll always know your teachers and director.
Our classroom extends to the Riverwalk, Prairie Path, and Library—because Naperville is our curriculum.
Standards are important. But trust isn't built in a corporate handbook—it's built when your teachers are also your neighbors.
At Prairie Path Academy, we believe your child deserves an academy that's part of your community, not a corporation. Our teachers live here, our families play here, and our program is designed around the unique needs of Naperville families.
