The entrance to the Kindergarten Center is at 881 Bloomingdale Rd in Glen Ellyn. The official mailing address for the Kindergarten Center is the same as Churchill School, 240 Geneva Road in Glen Ellyn.
Families that do not choose full-day kindergarten will follow the current half-day model at our elementary schools.
