Hello, my name is Cassie Brewer.

I currently reside in Westfield, IL with my husband, Seth, who is a Charleston Police Officer, along with our 2 beautiful daughters, Hadley and Blakelee.

In addition to over 9 years of teaching experience in a preschool setting, I have been the director of ILP since September 2021.

I am very excited for all of the things that God is doing in our school!

Common Questions

If your questions are not answered below, feel free to call. 

  • What kind of curriculum does your school use?

    Our Christian based curriculum is called "One in Christ" by Concordia Publishing House. This curriculum helps children learn the stories of the Bible along with applying it to their everyday life.

    Additionally, this year we have added the Frog Street Pre-K curriculum. It provides a sequence of learning experiences that progressively builds children's knowledge and skills as they move through the developmental progressions in the following domains: Approaches to Learning; Social and Emotional Development; Literacy; and Perceptual, Motor, and Physical Development. 

  • Do you accept financial assistance?

    Yes! 

    We do accept financial assistance for tuition. Feel free to reach out to us if you are interested in more information.

  • What kind of security do you offer?

    Doors remain locked at all times with access for families via personalized 5-digit codes. Additionally, all entrances and halls are equipped with operational security cameras. If an unfamiliar face comes to pick up your little one, we require pre-authorization and proof of identification.
