Hi! My name is Stephany Bassett, and I am excited for the upcoming school year! I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with my Bachelor's Degree in Special Education, Birth to 21 years. I went back to school a few years ago and received my Masters in Early Childhood Special Education, along with my Type 04 (regular education, Birth to 8 years) from Northeastern Illinois University. I have been teaching preschool for 10 years, however this is my third year being a part of the Pleasantdale Bright Beginnings Team. Again, I am looking forward to an outstanding year!

Bright Beginnings, an inclusive preschool program for children ages 3-5 teaches skills that serve as a foundation for future life success. Our purpose is to assure that young children, who are at various stages of developmental growth, demonstrate a passion for learning as they progress academically and socially. We believe learning is best facilitated in this age group through hands-on, interactive experiences that engage and challenge early learners.
