Tiny Bulldog Academy
Welcome
Dear D92 Families,
As we begin preparing for the 2025-2026 school year, we’re excited to invite you to express interest in our Tiny Bulldog Academy preschool program at Walsh School!
If you are a resident of Will County District 92 and are considering preschool for your child, please take a moment to complete the interest form linked below. By indicating your interest, we’ll send you registration information and next steps to enroll in D92, including signing up for our preschool screener.
Our preschool screening is designed to assess each child’s strengths and help our team determine what supports may be beneficial. The screening will take place on Thursday, May 9th in the morning, and will last about an hour. During that time, your child will work with our dedicated staff while you complete a parent questionnaire.
All of this helps our amazing Walsh team plan to welcome our newest Tiny Bulldogs in the fall!

Warmly,
Mrs. Megan Urban
