“My hope is that every child who walks through our doors feels safe to explore, inspired to learn, and surrounded by a community that believes in them”

“I am the lead teacher of the Pre K classroom and have been with EduCare since October 2025. I recently graduated from National Louis University with my Master's in Early Childhood Education before joining the EduCare team. I am a very proud mom of two amazing children, Davina and Tayden. I am passionate about teaching and committed to creating a supportive classroom where every student feels valued, encouraged, and inspired to succeed.”

“I will be one of your child's teachers in the Pre-K classroom and I have been with EduCare since July 2017. I am excited to get to know you and your child and look forward to all of the learning that we will be doing this year! I love working at EduCare because I feel at home here. The owners care very much about their employees and the children enrolled at the center. My husband and I have been married for 38 years and we have 2 adult children, Becca & Justin.”

“I am the teacher of the Preschool classroom, and I have been with EduCare since February 2026. Although this will be a new experience for me, I am not new to EduCare. My son attended EduCare from May 2020 through August 2023, so I've been part of this community as both a parent and now as a teacher. I have two amazing children, Colton and Arie. For the past 10 years, I have worked in the medical field with children on a daily basis, and I will continue that work alongside my role here. I am truly excited to expand my passion for working with children and to bring that experience into our classroom at EduCare.”

“My name is Marianna and I am the Early Preschool teacher. I also enjoy stepping into other classrooms whenever needed to support our teachers and children. I joined EduCare in November 2025, and it has been such a rewarding experience. I truly love working with young children and helping them learn, grow, and discover new things each day. Being surrounded by this age group brings me so much joy, especially watching their excitement as they engage in hands-on learning activities. I am currently pursuing my Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education at Joliet Junior College, and I'm excited to continue building my skills and passion for the early learning field.”

“Hello! My name is Mrs. Isvia. Although my professional journey began in cosmetology, my heart has always been with children and teaching. After a successful 8-year career in cosmetology, I felt called to pursue early childhood education and am thrilled to have joined EduCare as an assistant teacher in July 2026. I currently float between classrooms, lending a helping hand wherever it’s needed and supporting our teachers and students throughout the day. Outside of the classroom, I’m a dedicated mom of three little ones. I love creating memories with my family, exploring new adventures, and spending time at home cooking or baking. I’m so excited to be part of your child’s learning experience here at EduCare.”

“Hello! My name is Ms. Addison, and I became part of the EduCare team in May 2025. I’m studying Early Childhood Education at NIU and have a passion for travel (I just spend this past summer in Hawaii), creativity, and anything arts and crafts. I’m also a big movie and TV show watcher, so I’d love to hear your family’s recommendations. EduCare has always felt like home...my mom worked here, and my siblings and I grew up attending the center. I loved it so much that I knew I wanted to come back as an educator. I’m thrilled to be part of your child’s learning journey.”
