Kiddie Academy of Oak Park

I was born and raised in Connecticut and moved to Illinois in 2019. I've worked in early childhood education for the past 10 years, serving as both a teacher and an administrator. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from DePaul University and an Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education from Post University. Additionally, I have received the Illinois Director Credential Level 1 and the Early Childhood Credential Level 4. My passion for early childhood education began with my first job as an assistant toddler teacher, where I quickly advanced to the lead toddler teacher role. Witnessing the excitement and "light bulb" moments when children learn something new or achieve something exciting is incredibly rewarding. Seeing them grow, learn, and excel is truly magical. I firmly believe that children thrive when given the right tools. By providing them with the space to learn through play and nurture their curiosity, they can achieve amazing things. I am very excited to get to know you and your families and to build strong, lasting relationships within our school community. Thank you so much for choosing Kiddie Academy of Oak Park, Learn On!
