KLA Schools Celebrate Preschool Graduation: Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Plainfield/Naperville, IL — May 2026 — KLA Schools of Plainfield, Naperville, and Naperville West proudly celebrated Preschool Graduation as our Class of 2026 four-year-olds took their next big step into Kindergarten. Over the past year, our school communities came together to build trust, strengthen relationships, and create a true partnership between families and educators—united by one shared goal: supporting each child’s growth, confidence, and readiness for what comes next.

Throughout the year, children built meaningful friendships, practiced core values, and participated in engaging learning experiences that supported their social, emotional, and academic development. For many students, this milestone was especially meaningful—having started their KLA journey as infants and toddlers and grown within the KLA community over several years.

“You have entrusted us with the most valuable part of your lives—your child—and we are deeply grateful for that trust,” shared KLA Schools leadership. “This year was filled with growth, joyful memories, and strong partnership. We are so proud of our graduates and can’t wait to see all they will achieve.”

KLA educators reflected on the year with pride and emotion:

“This school year went by so fast, but it was incredibly rewarding—exciting and emotional in the best way. As graduation approached, I found myself cherishing the small moments even more—like tucking them in at rest time—because those connections matter. Watching how much they’ve grown and knowing they’re ready for Kindergarten makes me so proud.”


“This year has been a year of growth for both me and my students. We learned, problem-solved, and celebrated together—and now they’re stepping into their Kindergarten adventure with confidence. Seeing their independence, friendships, and love of learning flourish has been the greatest gift.”


The celebration was made even more special by heartfelt reflections from families, including one parent who shared: “Thank you so much Ms. Patti for taking such wonderful care of Kiara. She has become more confident, curious, and happy this year! We’re so grateful for your kindness and love—thank you again!”

During graduation week, KLA Schools of Plainfield experienced a heartfelt reminder of the lasting impact of early childhood connections as several alumni returned to campus to surprise their former toddler teacher. A group of past students—now graduating middle school and heading into 8th grade—visited Ms. Tracy (now our Pedagogical Coordinator) in their caps and gowns to say hello. The celebration also included a special moment from alumna Kavea, the very first student enrolled at KLA Schools of Plainfield, who returned to deliver a speech as she prepares to enter her junior year at Naperville Central.

KLA Schools extends sincere congratulations to the Class of 2026 and heartfelt thanks to our families and teaching teams for the partnership, dedication, and care that made this year so meaningful.
