Preschool Teacher
Hello! I am Gina Martin. I have been working at Our Savior Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten since 2008, first as a Teacher’s Assistant and as Lead Teacher since 2010. Currently I teach the 4 and 5 year old Preschool (Pre-K).
I earned my Associate Degree in the applied science of Child Development at Joliet Junior College in 2009 and I am Director-Qualified, as well.
In teaching preschool age students, I find it most fulfilling when a child accomplishes (what seems to be) a small task in independence, such as zipping a jacket or serving snack. Those things can be very frustrating for a child and the process itself is so important. To see the pride on a child’s face after working so hard day after day to achieve a task –it’s just so rewarding!
