Hand-Designed Curriculum
Daily lessons combine structure with child-led exploration.
Schooner Learning Academy opened in 2020 with a hand-designed early childhood curriculum. The Chicago preschool combines daily lessons with time for children to explore their interests, supporting learning and compassion. Its programs provide care for working families on a realistic schedule, including days when schools are closed. Schooner was founded by Kelli Schoonover, who has more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education as a teacher, director, and regional director. The academy also creates opportunities for families to connect through monthly happy hours, park meetups, and open houses. Schooner has locations planned for Ravenswood Manor and Lincoln Park, and invites families to inquire about tours and enrollment.
