I came to Ravinia Nursery School 17 years ago with 15 years of early childhood experience. After taking 12 years to be at home with my 4 children, it was time to reenter the work force. I was attracted to Ravinia Nursery School because it looked like a rich and inviting place for young children to flourish. It was easy to see that teachers were invested in creating a developmentally enriching environment where best practices in early childhood education were evident in their teaching. I find it very rewarding knowing that I not only get to help children have a positive school experience, but I also get to help parents navigate the ups and downs of parenthood.
