Full Day Kindergarten

Central received over 13,000 square feet of renovated and newly added space. This was the second largest undertaking of construction work within District 62 (second to North Elementary). We are so excited for students and staff to debut their brand new art room, music room, lunchroom, library and updated classrooms.

Even while hosting our summer school program, crews successfully renovated Cumberland’s west wing. Unused storage and office areas were transformed into accessible, private bathrooms for students. Ultimately, each kindergarten classroom gained an additional 180 square feet of learning space.

Over 4,700 square feet was renovated near the north entrance to create three dedicated kindergarten homerooms and one classroom, each equipped with a private bathroom.The heating systems were upgraded to maximize classroom space for new cubbies and learning materials.

Beginning October 2025, Pepper Construction initiated a transformation of the west campus to better serve both staff and students. Key improvements include adding two new kindergarten classrooms, renovating the art room, refurbishing locker rooms, and adding a dedicated wellness room. These upgrades reflect a commitment to enhancing both educational, athletic, and supportive spaces.

Thank you to the North learning community for your patience as we continue our partnership with Pepper Construction this fall which will result in over 24,000 square feet of new construction. While exterior improvements and updates to the cafeteria and kindergarten classrooms are ongoing, we are excited to share that several general classrooms and new music rooms are ready to host students right now!

We updated two kindergarten rooms and added a new Wellness Room, private staff bathroom, office and storage space. These layout changes also created better, accessible exterior access to the playground.

Our largest summer project involved significant underground plumbing repairs, which allowed us to completely redesign the space. Plainfield now features two new kindergarten classrooms, a staff lounge, a staff workroom, a Wellness Room and an updated health office.

We intentionally preserved the historic charm of our 1893 campus while maximizing its utility and aesthetics. South now features beautifully remodeled kindergarten classrooms, updated bathrooms and fresh storage spaces for students and staff.

Extensive underground and interior updates on the south campus paved the way for two new kindergarten classrooms, a conference room, a dedicated Wellness Room and a new private staff bathroom.
