I am excited to be teaching the two-and-one-half hour STARS program at Brokaw Early Learning Center. I graduated from Western Illinois University, Macomb, Ill., with my degree in early childhood education and early childhood special education approval. I have been teaching early childhood for nine years, and this will be my fourth year teaching STARS. I recently graduated from National Louis University, Chicago, with my  master’s degree in curriculum and instruction. Prior to graduation I received my English as a second language endorsement, also through National Louis University.

I look forward to getting to know you and your children and to a great year of learning and fun!
