Eagle Room

Hello, I have been at Little Jewels Learning Center since September of 2017. I started in the Ladybug room and became the Eagle's lead teacher in 2019. I have my degree in English from Illinois State. In my spare time I enjoy reading, crafting, cooking, traveling, cheering for the Cubs and the Bears, and spending time with my husband and three grown sons. I love working with my Pre-K friends to help them grow and experience new things as they get ready to head to kingergarten (even if the "good-byes" are hard).

Hello, I have been at Little Jewels since November 2022. I love working at Little Jewels because I love the kids telling me about their day and their little stories they tell you daily. I love watching them reach new milestones. In my spare time, I love to hangout with my daughter, go camping, and be outdoors. I also like to hangout with friends!

Hello, I am currently at Illinois State University studying communication sciences and disorders. I am a member of Delta Zeta Sorority and love staying involved in philanthropy events within my sorority as well as throughout campus. Eventually I would love to be a SLP in a school setting which is what made me interested in working at Little Jewels.

My name is Alayna, I am a student at Illinois State University studying elementary education. After I graduate I hope to work at a school close to home (Heyworth). I have been playing school since I was young! Doing something with children has always played a role in that. So I knew teaching would be perfect! I love working with kids, mentoring and playing with them fuels my passion. When I am not working or in school I like to crochet, hangout with my friends, and swim. I also coach my town's little league cheer team.
