Mrs. Cunningham

For the past decade, Clare has enjoyed being an educator in Early Childhood classrooms in the Chicagoland area, actively participating in the exploration and growth of many young children. Clare completed her Bachelor’s in Elementary Education at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana and after spending some time in the classroom, she went back to study Child Development, receiving her Master’s Degree from Erikson Institute.

While teaching, Clare has always valued the importance of nurturing a child’s innate curiosity in the early stages of their developmental learning.
