Meet Your Director
Jorden comes to us with more than 10 years of experience in the childcare field. She started part-time at a locally owned daycare in her hometown of Antioch, IL, while she attended the College of Lake County, taking classes toward her Associate’s degree in Arts and Education. Then she transferred to Northern Illinois University, where she graduated with her bachelor’s degree in Child Development (FCNS) with an emphasis on Leadership Studies. This is also where Jorden met her now-husband and co-owner of Brightest Stars Preschool, Tom. They moved out of DeKalb to Elburn and now have a beautiful baby girl named Harper!
Our goal is to help your little ones get kindergarten confident while also having fun!
Jorden has had many roles in various daycare settings, but she has always dreamed of owning her own preschool. Brightest Stars Preschool is where she achieved that lifetime goal of being the owner/director of one of the most wonderfully established preschools in the area! Tom has helped Jorden make her dream come true and will continue to support Jorden as the company’s co-owner behind the scenes, while also working full-time at UPS. Jorden will be the director and teacher of the preschool day-to-day.
“I am beyond grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to show the town of Sugar Grove all this school has to offer! My goal for the school is to make a strong connection with each child and family that walks through the door and to work at getting the children kindergarten confident- while also having fun! Please stop by and say HELLO. We are excited to meet you!”
