Jan Peterson
PRESCHOOL AIDE
Mrs. Peterson has been in Early Childhood Education for 24 years.
Her first job in education was at CCS as a preschool aide in the morning and teaching music with Kindergarten-6th grade students in the afternoon.
She came to know Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior just a year after her wedding day, and became involved in children’s ministry at First Presbyterian Church here in Aurora where she taught Sunday School and directed two Children’s Choirs. ‘We had the privilege at that time to do Christmas and Easter at the ParamountArt Center. I was part of the adult choir, sang solo and led the children in the worship of our Savior. I told the children that when they were up front singing, That they were ministers of Jesus, leading God’s people in His worship and praise!
While she was whittling away on a degree in Early Childhood Ed, Mrs Peterson with great joy also taught at Aurora Christian Preschool for 5 years, at Ginger Care Christian Academy as a lead teacher in the 4yr old department and Christmas program director, and finally at Parkview Christian Academy where she had the privilege to teach kindergarten and prepare students for the annual Christmas concert.
‘Being in so many different learning environments has exposed me to many different curricula…I am always thinking…What parts…. would be best for this student in front of me?’
Mrs. Peterson is glad to be back at CCS where it all began! She is the mother of 6 sons, the grandmother of 11 and happily married and empty nesting with her husband, Dan of 45 years. 🙂
