Trophy will be in Schaumburg:

The Cubs’ World Series trophy’s long offseason tour of the Chicago area will be stopping at the Prairie Center for the Arts in Schaumburg on Monday night. Fans will have the opportunity to see the trophy and take photos with it from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Lecture Hall on the main level of the building, 201 Schaumburg Court. The tour, which is presented by State Farm, will take the team’s first World Series trophy all around the Midwest. The trophy was created in 1967. Before then, World Series winners did not receive a trophy. It takes Tiffany & Co. master artisans more than three months and more than 200 troy ounces of sterling silver to create the trophy, which is 24 inches tall — not including the base — and 11 inches across. It weighs about 30 pounds. For more information on the trophy tour, check cubs.com/trophytour.

New full-day preschool:

The Schaumburg Park District will begin offering full-day preschool, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., for 4-year-olds on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays beginning in September, the district announced. On Wednesday, preschool will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. All classes will take place at the recently renovated Bock Neighborhood Center, 1223 W. Schaumburg Road. “With (Schaumburg Township Elementary School) District 54 going to all day kindergarten, we decided this would be a good way to prepare 4-year-olds for elementary school,” said Teresa Varco, early childhood supervisor, in the park district’s announcement. “Full days will allow for more learning and socialization.” Registration packets will be available Feb. 13 at Bock Neighborhood Center, Community Recreation Center, 505 N.
