Why I teach? I experience joy in working with young children. It is a privilege to encourage and guide their natural desires to learn and grow in the knowledge of themselves and God’s world. Planting the seeds of faith and learning in their precious hearts is a calling that deserves excellence and commitment, two qualities that I am excited to bring to teaching and directing at Orland Park Christian Preschool.
