HOFFMAN ESTATES — At a grand opening at 2353 West Hassle, a Hoffman Estates official presented a ceremonial key to Advanced Preschool as the center announced it will serve children six weeks to 12 years old and operate 10 full classrooms, an Advanced Preschool representative said.

The expansion, the representative said, will include “10 full classrooms, 2 of every age” and a suite of supports for families. “Additionally, we'll be providing our families with services such as pediatric medical, pediatric dental, mental health services, clothing, food, anything that our families, might need,” the representative said.

A Hoffman Estates official who took part in the ribbon-cutting remarks praised Kimberly, saying she “has been taking care of young people for decades,” and presented what the official called a key to the village. “It's my pleasure to present you a key to the village of Hoffman Estates,” the official said.

The preschool representative said the facility serves children “ages 6 weeks old to 12 years old” and encouraged the public to seek further information online at advancedpreschool.com.
