My name is Debra Tutak, and I am a full day Preschool teacher.  I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Education from University of Illinois.   I also have a reading  endorsement.   I have been teaching at St. Hubert Catholic School for 21 years.  I have 42 years experience in the Catholic School system. 

I am a member of the International Reading Association, the Illinois Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development, and the Society of Children Book Writers & Illustrators. 

I believe preschool is an essential building block in a child's education. It provides the skills necessary for success in kindergarten and beyond.  Children learn to strengthen their social and emotional development. Preschool provides an environment for children to explore, gain a sense of self, participate in the important skill of play with peers, and build self-confidence.
