EDUCARE
WEST DUPAGE AT GLEN ARBOR
a ; rl
Currently Educare West DuPage at Glen Arbor has renovated space
within the Glen Arbor Community Church. Our mission is to provide 32
children from the West Chicago community with early care and
education under the Educare model. As we proceed through the State
of Illinois licensing process and prepare to open, we are requesting the
City of West Chicago to support us in addressing several issues of
safety.
A) Allow for a drop-off/pick-up zone Monday thru Friday between
7am-9am and 3pm-5:30pm at the entrance of 204 Church Street.
B) Create a 3-way stop at the corners of W. Geneva St. & Woods.
C) Add a crosswalk from the sidewalk running east on Church St,
crossing Woods on to the sidewalk.
Each of these issues create a safety concern for our families and staff,
as they are moving to and from our program on a daily basis.

Drop-off/Pick-up zone for children and families. Using the south side of
Church St. families would be able to pull up to the sidewalk that leads
to the entrance of the building and safely transport their children to
and from the school.

West Chicago School District also has an Early Childhood Center in the
same neighborhood, serving children in a preschool program (84) and
housing staff that works in their home visiting program.
The site at the corner of George St. and Sherman St. has space for both
families and buses to provide for dropping off and picking up children.

We would like to see a crosswalk be placed across Wood St. so that our

At this three way intersection there is only one stop sign; on the SE
corner of W. Geneva and Wood St. Cars traveling west on W. Geneva
and south on Wood St. do not need to stop. We would like to advocate
for the creation of a 3-way stop with the addition of two more stop
signs.
