Parents' Day Out

Who We Are

Parents' Day Out (PDO) is a warm, friendly, child-centered environment. The PDO program at First Presbyterian Church of Arlington Heights has been serving the community since 1978. Our program is in operation September through May, Monday – Friday, five days per week. Our hours are 9:30 am – 1:30 pm. We accept children 6 months of age through 5 years of age (pre-Kindergarten). Children can attend one, two, or three days per week.

The PDO staff have been screened, have met all child-protective requirements, and have been trained in Epi-Pen, CPR, and AED administration. Many of our PDO teachers have been on staff for more than 10 years. 

Each child who attends our program will experience a day consisting of crafts, gym time, story time, singing, and educational and free-time activities. Our loving and qualified teaching staff encourage learning through interaction, experience, and play. We have a creative coordinator on staff to assist the teachers in the daily lesson planning, along with extra staff to assist when needed.
