Miss Bette has been working at Messiah since 1994.  She is an assistant teacher with Miss Janelle in Pre-K 1.  "I have a great time laughing and playing with the children."

Miss Debbie began at Messiah in 2006.  "I just love working with three, four and five year olds.  I live in Chicago.  I have four grown children and eight grandchildren.  My youngest is away at college so my nest at home is empty, but at Messiah my nest is full of love and plenty of hugs.  All of the teachers that I help are an incredible blessing to me and I have learned so much working at Messiah."

After sending her baby to college in 2003, Miss Joy changed careers from healthcare to childcare.  She had been working with Miss Ro and Younger 3's since she came to Messiah.  Now she has the blessing to be working with Miss Kelly in that same class. " It is an honor and (lots) of fun to play with the children during their first school experience."

Miss Cindy began her Messiah career in March of 2011 with the Pre K-1 younger 3's (WF) class. In the fall of 2011, Miss Cindy started the school year with the Pre K-2 (MWF) class and added the TTH younger 3's in September. Miss Cindy's previous experience is as a pre-school teacher and director at St. Mark's Lutheran Pre-school in Mt. Prospect, as well as being the family and youth co-ordinator at St. Mark's Church.

Miss Ro has taught at Messiah since 2000.  "Each new year is filled with excitment and anticipation of meeting new children and their families.  Messiah is a second home to me and I am truly blessed to have met so many wonderful people.  It gives me great joy to see how the children grow and change throughtout the school year.  I feel priviledged and honored to be a part of their day."

Miss Kristin started here at Messiah in January of 2009.  Originally from Michigan, she worked with grade school children teaching environmental education at a nature center.  "As a Teacher's Assistant in Miss Ro's classroom, I get to have as much fun as the kids do!  I am so blessed to be a part of this wonderful school where the teachers, families and of course the children, are so amazing.  I love coming to work every day."
