About our program:

In the Einstein classroom our focus is kindergarten readiness.  As part of our Preschool program, Young Scholars Child Care Center purchased a Pre-Kindergarten Literacy and Math program based on the kindergaren curriculum of surrounding elementary schools.  Our staff work very hard to ensure that each child is fully equiped with the skills needed to be successful in the kindergarten classroom.  Pre-literacy and math skills are taught, as well as socialization and responsbility for ones own self.

~Miss Ashley~
     Hello! My name is Ashley Concidine and I am a preschool teacher at Young Scholars in Gurnee.  I have been working here since January 2008 and I love it.  I am 23 years old and I graduated from Illinois State University in December 2007 with a degree in Early Childhood Education.  I've been working with children for about 7 years and I can't think of a better job to have.  I live in Waukegan with my boyfriend.  In my freetime I enjoy reading, watching movies, and just being with people I love!

~Miss Ashima~

I was born in the capital city of India- New Delhi -to loving parents (Anil and Rebecca), and am the 2nd of 3 children (1 older sister, 1 younger brother).  I completed my Bachelors of Arts from Allahabad University in India (outside of New Delhi).  I have been fortunate to work for wonderful companies such as IBM, ITQ (InterGlobe Technology Quotient) and Taj Palace Hotels.  My primary function was in Human Resources; however at Taj Palace I was responsible for organizing special functions for VIP/Celebrity guests from around the world.  I was responsible for their children's party planning and also coordinating events.

I married Hemanshu Singh in April of 2007 and relocated to the US last August.  My husband has been in the US since the early 80's and has 3 sisters of his own.  He works for a Pharmaceutical company out of Deerfield, IL.  Last year he completed his Master's degree.

Since coming to the US, I have changed career objectives from HR to Early Childhood Education.  This has always been a field of interest for me; however the opportunity to pursue this is more available now.  I hope to pursue higher education in Early Childhood Education in the coming years and use this to help and guide the children at Young Scholars Child Care Center.
In my free time, I enjoy reading spiritual materials, beading, cooking, working out, interior decorating our new home, and learning more about the States.
