About Teri Joy

I am an experienced nanny, mother of 4, and long-time preschool teacher with a masters degree in early child and family development. I have a passion for play-based education, early literacy, and giving children a curiosity and joy for the world around them! After owning and operating my own preschool for over 10 years, my family relocated to Wheaton this summer. As my own children are leaving home, I am looking to invest in caring and working alongside a young family! I am a professional caregiver who will play with and teach your young children. I am gifted in following daily schedules, and I enjoy creating stability and routine for young children. I am also skilled at teaching young children to read and build their vocabulary through play and lots of books! I use positive methods of discipline and care to help children thrive and understand appropriate behavior without yelling or negative punishments. I am open to caring for your child in my own home in Wheaton or your home.
