Our Teachers

I am the founder and director of Growing Seeds Preschool. I oversee all programs and the preschool’s daily operations. I started this school after completing my master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from De Paul University. This is my lifelong passion and I’m glad I’m sharing this with your family!

Ms. Rissi has been a part of the Growing Seeds family for more than 5 years now! She earned her undergraduate degree from DePaul 2013 with a Major in Communication and Media Major and Minor in Spanish. She continues to learn different ways of teaching/guiding children. In 2018, she received her yoga certificate through Breath for Change and in 2021, a certificate in Poi dancing. She shares this passion and knowledge of movement and mindfulness in her work at Growing Seeds by helping children learn about their physical abilities and build socio-emotional skills. She is currently working towards her Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education.
