My son has been attending Alain Locke for 2 years now. He started in 3 year old pre-k, now he is in the 4 year old pre-k program. I can only speak for the Preschool program, but the teachers truly do care about the students and they follow up with the parents if necessary for any issues your child maybe having. My son has learned alot and he is ahead of most school children his age in other public schools. It's no wonder they were ranked as one of the top 5 Chicago public elementary charter schools in Chicago Magazine in 2016. I would fully recommend this program.
