Joan Cummins - 2’s teacher

I have been a teacher at St Peter since 2018, with a little hiatus during Covid. I have a B.A. in Early Childhood Education from Concordia University (Chicago). It is my 36 th year teaching preschool children! I grew up in Park Ridge and went to Edison Park Lutheran Church where I was baptized, confirmed, and married. It was there that the seeds of my faith started, grew, and were nourished throughout my years there.

I live in Palatine with my husband Steve. I am a mom to Kelsey (31) who just got married last year and to Jack (24) who is continuing his education. In my spare time, I love to read books, bake, get crafty, and go flea marketing/ antique hunting.

There is SO much I am looking forward to this year. I love the 2’s and all the exploring, learning, and fun we get to have! The best part is, I’m the first one, not only educating them but also helping them discover exciting things about God, His fascinating world, and how they are so loved by Him!

St. Peter is a great place to discover, learn, and explore God's amazing world and how He loves each and every one of us so very much!
