Meet the Staff!

Heidi has owned the center for over 15 years. She has worked with every age group and subbed for the school district as well. She has four children of her own that have all assisted at the center in some capacity. It really is a family business! 

Miss Andee is our toddler teacher. She has been with us for around 15 years! She earned her Associates in Early Childhood Education at Lake Land College and also received her director's qualifications. 

Miss Torey is one of our preschool teachers. She has been with us for about 4 years but she has previous experience in childcare as well providing extensive knowledge in the field. She has 1 little one of her own. 

Torey received her Associates in Early Childhood Education from Lake Land College.

Kenzie has been employed with TLSH for over 10 years. She earned her associates in Early Childhood Education at Lake Land College and her bachelors in Infant/Toddler Studies at National Louis University. 

Mrs Kenzie's favorite part of her day is getting to take time away from the office to join in singing, dancing, and art activities. 

Miss Makala has been with our center since high school. She went on to further her education at Millikin University and Lake Land College. She brings a fun loving personality to her classroom!

Miss Ryleigh assisted us for many months helping in all the classrooms until she decided she was ready for a more exciting role. Her previous college courses provided her with a great amount of training that landed her a head teacher position!
