All three of my children have gone through the Tree of Life program, so I have been part of the community for over ten years, both as a parent and a teacher. I received my BS in Early Childhood education from UW-Milwaukee in 2005 and gained further certification from Cardinal Stritch University in 2010. I taught both Kindergarten and 4^th grade before staying home with my three boys. I was very excited to get back to teaching in the classroom! One of my favorite aspects of preschool is the unbridled enthusiasm for discovery and getting a bit messy in the process.

Mrs. Fischer received a B.A. from Virginia Tech and completed her teacher licensure in birth through 6th grade at the University of Richmond. Before starting a family, she taught 5th grade and junior kindergarten. Her two children are Tree of Life alums and she spent five years on the TOL parent board. She lives in Whitefish Bay with her family and loves the beach, exercising and spending time with family and friends.

“I am excited to join Tree of Life in a teacher role. I believe that play is a child’s most important work and am looking forward to creating an environment where children can grow and thrive while exploring the world around them.”
