The @PeoriaROE48 Spotlight Educator for this month is Jessica Hancock from Preschool for All.
Jessica was nominated to be the Spotlight Educator by a community member that explained "Mrs. Hancock is the gem of Preschool For All. She doesn't just plan relevant workshops and events for the students and their families. She takes the time to get to know each and every student's family. Preschool for All parents know that they can turn to her for support with parenting or family wellness issues, no matter how sensitive the subject. It is obvious that she enjoys the work she does, and she passes that enthusiasm on to everyone she greets."
Congratulations, Jessica! Thank you for all you do for students and their families.
