My name is Natalie Koessl.  Welcome to our classroom website and what promises to be an exciting year here at the Sycamore Trails in preschool.  I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be your child’s teacher, and I look forward to working with you as well.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you know a little bit about myself and my teaching background.  I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with my B.S. in Early Childhood Education (Birth -3^rd grade) and a special education letter of approval for ages birth – 5 years old, in 2016.  I pride myself on being a lifelong learner and I am always researching current topics in early childhood and plan to take courses to keep up my professional practice.  Last school year I completed studying English as a Second Language and recieved my endorsement.

I believe that my role as a teacher is to help your child become as independent as possible, and I set up my classroom to foster independence.  I believe that children learn at different rates and in different ways, but I strongly believe that all children can learn and grow.  Throughout the school year, your child will grow in many ways, and I am excited to be a part of the learning process.

This is my third year teaching and my second at Sycamore Trails in blended preschool.  Previously, I taught a self-contained special education preschool class, also in Bartlett.  I was born and raised in Elgin, IL where I continue to live with my family and our pets.
