Ms. Lauren
Welcome Little Learner’s 4’s class! My name is Miss Lauren, and I am over the moon to be teaching your child this year! I’m so blessed to have met some of your kiddos through last year’s Lunch Buddy Extended Day Program, some of you at Camp Discovery, some of you in the hallways, and some of you even at Swim Lessons at Lions Pool! This will be my second year teaching the 4’s and I’m so excited to embark on this wonderful journey with your child. Our classroom will be a place where curiosity is encouraged, creativity flourishes, and friendships are built. We’ll explore new concepts, engage in hands-on activities, and celebrate every milestone together. Additionally, I believe in open communication and a strong partnership between home and school. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime with questions, concerns, or just to share a success story. Your involvement is crucial, and together, we can make this year an unforgettable experience for your child. Let’s make this year a fantastic one filled with learning, laughter, and growth. Welcome to Little Learner’s Preschool 4’s, where every day is an adventure!
Miss Alina
Hello! I’m Miss Alina and I’m so excited to coteach with Miss Lauren this year and honored to be a part of your child’s preschool experience! This is my 7th year of teaching, but my very first at CHPD in the Fours program! I received a Bachelors in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri, and a Specialization Certificate in Social Emotional Learning from the University of Colorado-Boulder. I bring to the team a unique skill set of extensive knowledge on and experience in SEL practices, teaching students with special needs and learning disabilities, as well as Kindergarten readiness.

Miss Kasia
Hi! My name is Miss Kasia. Many of my friends have little ones your child’s age that I am a beloved Auntie to. I adore reading to them as much as they love listening!
I have a background in public services as well as family services. My goal is to pursue a master’s degree in public policy & administration.
I’ve lived in Clarendon Hills going on 7 years and love this community so much that I want to give back by teaching your little ones! I’m looking forward to a wonderful school year!
Ms. Leslie
Hi! My name is Leslie Maggio and I am so excited to be teaching at Little Learners! I will be working with the twos and threes this year. My family and I just moved to Clarendon Hills from Dallas. I have three kids, Austin (9), Abby (15) and Katie (17). I also have three dogs, Cleo, Remi and Sadie. My number one passion is teaching early childhood! I have a BA in International Studies and a Masters in Early Childhood Education. This will be my 16th year teaching in Early Childhood. I have taught a range of ages from two year olds through third grade. I absolutely love watching the children grow each year! My goal is to be a positive and loving teacher, while instilling a love of learning in each child. Fun fact about me… I moved to Taipei, Taiwan when I was eleven and graduated high school from Taipei American School. My family lived in Asia for 17 years! I look forward to getting to know each family this year!
