Ms. Bridget

Hi! My name is Ms. Bridget, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Clarendon Hills Park District preschool team. I’ve been teaching for the past 25 years and can truly say it is a passion of mine. I have a BA in Elementary Education and a Masters in Science Education. I taught all subjects for the first 10 years and then transitioned into general science for K-5 students for the last 15 years. I love exploring science topics with students, hearing all their thoughtful ideas and questions, and helping them make the connections necessary to make sense of themselves and the world around them. I can’t wait to meet and get to know each child in the 4’s and start exploring with them!

 

Ms. Emily

Hi, my name is Ms. Emily, and I am the 2’s and 3’s teacher on the preschool team at Clarendon Hills Park District. I have worked in early childhood for 4 years now and I love creating an environment where students can use play-based learning to explore and learn. I hold a BA in Secondary Education with an ELL endorsement. I am particularly passionate working with a diverse group of students as each student brings a different perspective into the classroom. I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this year!

 

Ms. Alyssa

Hello, my name is Ms. Alyssa! Being a teacher has always been what I have dreamed of. I love making an impact on these little ones! I have my Early Childhood Certification, and this is my third-year teaching. I am the oldest of five siblings and they are the reason I am a teacher today! I cannot wait to get to know all the students this year and experience meaningful activities and fun arts and crafts!

 

Ms. Karla

Hi everyone! My name is Ms. Karla, and I am so excited to be a part of the Clarendon Hills Park District preschool team! I have been working with kids for four years, going on five and I can’t wait to continue to do so. I have my BA in psychology and interdisciplinary educational studies with a concentration in child and family studies. Through my undergraduate career I had the privilege of growing alongside the students I was helping, ranging from 1st to 8th grade. After graduating I continued working with kids but this time growing within the field of applied behavior analysis, helping administer therapeutic services to kids with autism. Throughout my time working with kids, I have been lucky enough to witness both small and big milestones through their hard work, helping them uncover their likes, dislikes, and the world around them. I’m so excited to meet all the kiddos in the 2’s and to be a part of their journey as they continue to learn!
