I’ve always had a love for preschool children, long before I started in education. It is so rewarding when a child overcomes an obstacle for the first time; from self-help skill to an academic skill, the complete joy you see on a child’s face can melt your heart. Preschoolers bring new experiences daily and a curiosity for learning. I feel as though I have as much to learn from them as they do from me. I love their honesty, curiosity, and ability to find fun and excitement in almost every situation.

I received my Associates of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education from Kishwaukee College in 2004. I have taught children from 20 months to 5 years of age for 22 years. This is my 11th year at Jonesboro Pre-K. 

My name is Teresa Taylor Jones! I am married to my husband Clint. I have one beautiful daughter and 3 amazing grandchildren. I have worked at Jonesboro Pre-K for 22 years. I have an Associates degree in Social and Criminal Justice, Associates in Child Development, Bachelors degree in Sociology and a Masters in Management Organizational Leadership Change. I am so excited to meet you all!! We are going to have an amazing year. Your children are going to learn so much.
