Welcome to Jefferson Early Childhood Center. I am so pleased to be working with you and your child this school year. I have had the pleasure of working at Jefferson since January of 2002. I earned my BA from Elmhurst College with a degree in Early Childhood Education.  I also hold Masters degrees in Special Education and Reading and Literacy.  I live in Wheaton with my husband, three daughters and 3 miniature schnauzers. I come from a large family and they are very important to me. I love to garden, travel, ride my bike and spend time with my family.  I look forward to getting to know each of you this school year!
