Our Leadership & Staff Home / About Us / Our Leadership & Staff Meet Our Dedicated Team A Message from Our Principal Angelie Jones, Principal Welcome to a community where experience meets inspiration! At our school, we believe that the foundation of a remarkable life begins with an exceptional early childhood experience. Located in the heart of Lisle, just steps from the train station and conveniently accessible via Ogden Avenue, our school serves as a cornerstone for families seeking a balance of academic rigor and heartfelt care. Our mission is simple: to provide your child with the best possible start. We achieve this by fostering a fun and educational environment where every day is an invitation to discover, create, and grow. The Gold Standard of Educators The true soul of our school resides in our faculty. We are honored to house a team of educators whose commitment to this community is unparalleled. Among our staff are teachers with Master’s degrees in Early Childhood Education and five master educators who have dedicated over 20 years to our students. This level of tenure is rare and speaks to the deep-rooted stability of our program. It means that when you join our school, your child is being guided by experts—teachers who have taught generations of siblings and have become legends within the community for their warmth and wisdom. Our teachers don’t just implement a curriculum; they understand the individual learning styles of every child, adapting their instruction to ensure each student feels seen, heard, and challenged. A Curriculum of Confidence and Inclusion We are proud to offer a sophisticated, developmentally appropriate curriculum that prioritizes both traditional academic milestones and modern essential skills. Our program is designed to meet and exceed local standards, but we go a step further by weaving social-emotional learning (SEL), cultural awareness, and inclusion into the daily fabric of the classroom. Our students do more than learn to read and solve problems; they learn to navigate the world. By the time our students graduate, they are confident learners who can articulate their emotions, resolve conflicts with peers, and approach new challenges with curiosity. Whether they are engaging in hands-on STEM projects or taking their learning into our beautiful outdoor spaces, our students are constantly building the character and skills necessary for success in elementary school and beyond. A Partnership Built on Trust We understand that choosing a preschool requires a profound leap of trust. We honor that trust by maintaining an environment where safety and transparency are paramount. Security & Peace of Mind: Our school features a secure door-code entry system and a dedicated PIN-based check-in process. Our staff undergoes continuous training in first aid, CPR, and allergy management, alongside monthly safety drills to ensure the highest standards of protection. Seamless Connection: Through the Links 2 Home communication app, we provide you with a window into your child’s day. You will receive real-time updates and photos of the “creative sparks” that happen in the classroom, ensuring you are a full partner in their educational journey. Vibrant Community Life: We celebrate the family unit through cherished traditions, from personalized welcome signs for new families to community events like our Mother’s Day Breakfast, Donuts with Dad, and our upcoming Back-to-School Bash. Discover the Difference There is a reason our school has thrived for decades on word-of-mouth recommendations from local families. It is the palpable warmth in our hallways, the creative energy in our classrooms, and the unwavering dedication of our veteran staff. We invite you to schedule a tour and see for yourself how our legacy of excellence can become the foundation for your child’s future.
