Ready for another intro of a new staff member?
Meet Ms. Elise! Ms. Elise is our building aide this year and will be here Mon-Thursday!
Hi! I am Ms. Elise. I am thrilled to join the Christ Lutheran Preschool team as the Building Aide and return to one of my passions: working with young children. Before spending a number of years in the corporate world, I built a strong foundation in early childhood through many years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, and volunteer. I recently left my corporate career to pursue a Master in Social Work at the Erikson Institute in Chicago, aligning my professional goals with my love for supporting children and families.
At Christ Lutheran, I have a special connection to the school community: I am a proud mom to two boys, Kai and Brady, the latter of whom is a student in the Pre-K class at Christ Lutheran. When I'm not studying or helping out around the school, I stay active and love spending time outdoors. You will likely spot me out for a run on the local trails and neighborhood paths or exploring the community with my boys—whether visiting local parks, playgrounds, libraries, pools, splash pads, or forest preserves.
