Chelsea Serrano: Little Clipper Preschool Instructor

I joined Little Clipper Preschool in 2019 and am so happy to be a part of such a wonderful program. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Loyola University Chicago and previously taught first grade. I have worked with a variety of grades from preschool up to 8th grade and while I enjoy working with children of all ages, I especially love preschool. It is so much fun watching them grow and seeing how excited they are to learn new things. I also really enjoy working with our high school students and love watching them interact with the preschoolers. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children.
