Christin Nosko
Assistant Director OAAD@OpenArmsGlenview.org
My name is
Christin Nosko (Ms. Christin) and I am the new Asst. Director at Open Arms Open
Arms Early Child Development Center in Glenview. I am very excited to be here
and I look forward to getting to know all the staff, children and parents in
the upcoming weeks. To start, I want to give you a little background about
myself. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois (yes the city) and have been a part of
the LCMS Lutheran Church since birth. I grew up in and graduated from St Philip
Lutheran School, then went on to attend Luther North High School. From there, I
branched out to Western Illinois University and then transferred to
Northeastern Illinois University, where I received my bachelors in Early
Childhood Education. I would later go back for my Masters in Leadership and
graduate with honors during the beginning of the pandemic in March of 2020.
Since I was
little, I always knew I wanted to be in the education field. My mom would tell
me stories of how I would “play” teacher with my teddy bears and eventually my
little brother, when he was old enough to sit up. Since the age of 16, I have
worked in preschools in many different Early Childhood Classrooms. Once
receiving my degree, I worked in head start programs, daycare centers (both
private and public), as well as volunteered my time tutoring on the weekends. I
have had experience in the classrooms with children ranging from birth to 8th
grade and I have taught many different levels and know what being in the
Lutheran system is about.
Outside
of the classroom or office, I love to spend time with my family, friends, and
dog. Going to the park, beach or anything that is calming has become my weekend
routine. I am a fan of anything Disney and count down the days till my next
Disney vacation. In the meantime, I’m excited to be here at Open Arms and I
look forward to meeting everyone and helping in any way I can. Please feel free
to reach out if you have any questions or concerns in the upcoming weeks. Thank
you for welcoming me with “Open Arms”.
