| Divine Savior Preschool & Child Care Staff
|
 Hi, I am Joy Lustig and have been the Director here at A Place To Grow Preschool & Child Care since 1989. I enjoy the Center, the staff, and of course the children so much that I just keep on staying and staying (kind of like the battery that keeps on going and going). |
| Throughout my time here at Divine Savior I have seen programs expand and make positive changes. Expansions and changes are able to occur when you have a super, wonderful, consistent staff like Divine Savior has. |
| Even with a BS Degree in Elementary Education and twenty plus years in the early childhood field of education, I am still learning new things. After working with children so long you'd think you'd have seen and heard everything, but not so. The children still amaze and entertain me with the things they do and say. |
| My Office door is always opened to talk with and listen to parents' concerns and suggestions. |

| I currently live in Sun Prairie with my husband, Brian, and my two children, Gretchen and Bradley. When I am not working, I am best known as "Taxi Mom". I am always running for something, karate, piano, or just to see friends. When I do get a little time for myself I enjoy things like: scrap booking, crocheting, sewing, quilting, surfing the internet and karate. |
