I am the Teacher for the Turtles Class (4s). I have also taught the Teddy Bears (2s) and Guppies (3s) classes in my time at the Preschool. I have been in early childhood for over 20 years, also serving as Director of a Lutheran Preschool in the area. My two daughters are alumni of WOL and I know their experience helped shape them into who they are today. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, walking and taking vacations with my family. I look forward to partnering with you, helping your child become a life-long learner and watching them grow in God’s grace.   

I joined the Word of Life staff in 2008 as an assistant to the director and as a substitute. I also worked as an assistant teacher in the literacy classes. I live in Naperville with my husband Jamie and our daughter Emily. Our daughter recently graduated from college, and our son Connor, lives in Iowa. I’m very excited to be the assistant teacher in the Turtles class, and I look forward to meeting you!

Welcome to Word of Life Preschool! I am very excited for the opportunity to teach the Penguin’s class this year. This will be my fourth year at WOL. I have a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I taught fifth grade before having children. I live in Naperville with my husband Nate and our two children, Hazel (12 years old) and William (8 years old). I enjoy traveling, the beach, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I love seeing my students learn and gain confidence in their unique abilities throughout each school year. I am grateful for this opportunity to teach and to get to know you and your child this school year.

Welcome! I have been blessed to assist the children at our school with their educational and spiritual journey. I have been working with our 3s class for the past couple of years and I have also had experience working in our 2s class. When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with family, including my 2 golden retrievers (Oliver and Orchid). I also love to relax and go fishing at the lake. I am excited for the year ahead and very grateful to be working with such amazing families and teachers. 

Hello Word of Life Families! I am excited to be working in the Guppies class this year. I’ve been working in Early Childhood for the past 15 Years, working with ages 2-5.  As an early years educator, I enjoy creating a welcoming, nurturing and engaging environment for my students to learn, explore and grow.

I’ve lived in Naperville for the past 5 years, with my husband and daughter. We moved here from England.

In my spare time I enjoy walking and going on adventures with my family, as well as reading and working out.

I look forward to meeting you and being part of your child’s educational journey.

Welcome to Word of Life Preschool! I work as one of the teachers in Teddy Bears (2s) and help out in the other classes, as needed. I am married with two daughters (Beverly and Edie), both of whom have attended Word of Life preschool. Prior to working in early childhood education, I worked in the healthcare field for 15 years. In my free time, I enjoy distance running, yoga, and spending quality time with my family. I find preschool education to be a rewarding experience and look forward to helping in your child’s educational and spiritual growth.
