My name is Jill Croft, and I am so excited to be  teaching kindergarten at St. Gabriels! 

I graduated summa cum luade from the University of Missouri - St. Louis, earning my bachelors degree in early childhood education. I then went on to teach kindergarten at Our Lady Queen of Peace for three years. During this time I also earned my masters degree in education from Southwest Baptist University. After this I began teaching pre-k at Simon Says; which part of St. Simon the Apostle School. I taught there for 11 years before deciding to move back to my favorite grade to teach... Kindergarten!

I am married with two beautiful daughters, Rosalie and Vivian. Rosalie just started 7th grade, and Vivian is in 5th. My hobbies are cooking, reading, hiking, and spending as much time with my family as possible! We love to play games and get together with grandparents and cousins. We love family time!

I have been working with kids since I was 17 years old, and have still not lost my passion for teaching. I love what I do and truly believe it shows in the classroom every day. Thank you for sharing your kiddos with me!

Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I'd be happy to answer them whenever I have a free moment.
