Welcome to Preschool at St. Joseph Catholic School!
I am so excited to be your child’s preschool teacher this year!
This is my ninth year at St. Joseph Catholic School and I am looking
forward to helping your child grow, and learn,
and have fun this year.
I have been a preschool teacher in Libertyville for over 25 years,
and am passionate about helping young children learn.
I believe children learn best with hands-on experiences and
help facilitate their many different learning styles
in a kind and nurturing setting.
We will have an amazing year together meeting new friends, sharing new
discoveries, and learning new skills everyday.
Our instructional aide, Mrs. Tina Truskowski, has much experience in the classroom
after being a aide at St. Joseph Catholic School for over 15 years!
Together, we help build positive relationships with children to help foster
growth and confidence in a caring classroom community.
We are both looking forward to sharing a wonderful year with your child.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom STEM 🌴 Challenge!
“Build a tree to hold A, B, C!”
Preschoolers used their knowledge of this favorite story to construct their own tree! Using a variety of materials, they attempted to see how many letters their tree could hold before it toppled over like the one in the story!
The children experimented with various size and shape of block and letter (and discovered it made a difference!) and structure design! The positive attitude and tenacity they used to approach this challenge was a joy to witness! Every attempt was a success!
