I’m grateful to have been given the opportunity to work at ATB&B in the 2’s room with Margo. Getting to know these beautiful little humans is pure joy.

Before coming to ATB&B, I previously worked at a Montessori school in Evanston where my 3 children, Caroline, Margaret, and Jimmy, all began their journeys.

Daisies and Sunflowers

I have been teaching at ATB&B in the Daisies and Sunflowers room since 2008. Prior to that, I was a full-time elementary school teacher before my two children were born. I live in Wilmette with my husband, Vince, whom I met as an undergraduate at DePauw University. I then attended the Erikson Institute for my master's degree in education.

I love teaching twos because everything is new. It's their first time in school and there is so much to learn! I also like working with the parents and getting to know the whole family so my students know I really care about their world.

I began teaching at ATB&B in the Fall of 2021 to return to my passion of teaching that I've had since college. I received my BA in History, French, and Education from Fairfield University and my JD from St John’s University School of Law. I taught and practiced law before my three children were born and then shifted to stay home and raise my family. We live in Winnetka where I have volunteered in our schools, village, and larger North Shore community. I began substitute teaching a few years ago once my children were older! Now that my two daughters are in college and my son is in high school, I decided it was time to go back to my love of teaching.

ATB&B is the warmest, most nurturing environment and I am honored to be working here. Each day is an adventure and I am so proud to be part of the beginning of your child’s learning and discovery journey.

Butterflies and Friday Fireflies

I have always had a passion for working with children. Throughout my life here, I have dedicated most of my time to taking care of life's most important gift - children! While I was born and educated in Poland, my dream of teaching in the USA became a reality when I began working at ATB&B. I feel blessed to teach alongside a wonderful staff and to have the opportunity to watch children grow and flourish. Caring, nurturing, and guiding children has been such a privilege!

Junior Kindergarten

I joined ATB&B in the fall of 2008. The timing was perfect as my 2 boys, now grown, had become more independent. I moved to teaching the 3-year-olds after teaching the 2-year-old class for 2 years. I have a BS in Education and love teaching, especially teaching at ATB&B! It's a joy to see a child's eyes light up when they try something new. I love that I am helping to influence the learning of these sweet little ones!

Junior Kindergarten

Before joining the ATB&B family, I taught 2nd grade and Kindergarten. I have enjoyed teaching many ages, starting with the two-year-old classes in 2001 and joining the JK team in 2020. I've also loved developing JK Enrichment programs over the last ten years. I have a BA in History from Smith College, and an MA in Education from National-Louis University. My passions are working with children, music, dance, and going to the theater. I have three children, and all of them loved ATB&B Preschool when they were little! I also have two golden retrievers, who think they are humans.
