Welcome to Early Childhood

Diane Johnson    Hello to everyone. I'm looking forward to another great school year.  Let me introduce myself to you.  I attended Eastern Illinois University for my undergraduate degree and graduated in 1992.  Loyola University is where I received my graduate degree in education with an emphasis in the area of family studies.  The 1993-94 school year was my first year teaching.

Julie Uster    Hi, I am Mrs. Julie.  Welcome back to a new school year.  I have worked with Mrs. Diane and the Early Childhood Program for many years.   I have lived in Lisle with my family for over twenty years.  Outside of school, I enjoy being with my family and especially my grandchildren!   I am looking forward to a productive and fun school year.

Ms. Gaby Greene Hi there!  I am Gaby, Early Childhood Aide, and I work at Tate Woods with Mrs. Diane and Mrs. Julie.  I am very happy to work here because the teachers I work with are the greatest!  A few years ago, I moved from California where I worked as an Instructional Aide for different Special Education programs:  I worked with Elementary, Junior High and High School students.  I am also bilingual and feel privileged to speak two different languages that have allowed me to translate for parents, as well as, teachers and help with anything that has to do with both languages.  Now, I live in Bolingbrook with my husband and daughter.  I am very excited for another school year!

Ms. Linda Hausler: Hello, my name is Miss Linda and I am the Speech-Language Pathologist for the Early Childhood Education Program at Tate Woods School.  I live in Oak Park and enjoy spending time with my Miniature Pinscher, Kaiser, who I spoil profusely.  I completed both undergraduate and graduate studies in Communication Sciences and Disorders at Western Illinois University.  I am very excited and look forward to having a wonderful school year.
