As a ministry of the First Congregational Church of Downers Grove, Family Life has operated a preschool, childcare, and kindergarten program in the community for over 49 years. Its philosophy is to encourage learning and creativity through child initiated and directed socialization and play. Music is an important component of the creative and learning process; each child receives a bimonthly music session. Family Life also offers a summer camp program.  Because this program is part of the Church's ministry, fees are more reasonable than comparable high quality preschools in the area.
