Learning Tree
Daycare

I have lived in Milford all my life along with my husband Mike. I have four adult sons and a teenage grandson. I choose to study ECE at DACC right out of highschool. My passion for children landed me at the Learning Tree Daycare 33 years ago. I have experienced each age level and I prefer to work with the very littles. For the past 23 years I have been the director for Learning Tree, very excited to see what the future holds under our new ownership. we have been given the opportunity to continue what we love.

I am sixty four years old. I am married and a mother of three boys. I am very excited to be expecting my first grandson in july. I love working with children and have been doing it for about 50 years, starting out babysitting at the age of 15. I also worked at Grant Work Head Start, Captain Kidd pre-school, and Teddy Bear pre-school, all in the Chicago area.. We moved to the Grant Park area where I also did home daycare for about 12 years. My family moved to watseka 15 years ago. I have been working at Learning Tree for 12 1/2 years. I love watching the children grow and learn as we prepare them for kindergarten. I love my kids, staff, and our parents are great. Thanks to Sherrey for finding us a building, I can continue to do the job I love and look forward to moving to our new location.

I'm so excited to be working with your toddlers! I have been working at the daycare on and off since I was 15, and have been working here full time since August of 2023. I was born in Kankakee, but raised in Hoopeston. I currently live in Martinton with my boyfriend and son, Oliver. I absolutely love working and teaching little ones because they are the future of the world. I can't wait to be working with your little ones!
