Pre-K Teachers 'Tirelessly Educate, Nurture': St. Charles Heroes

ST. CHARLES, IL — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Laurey Goldsworthy, who nominated her employees at Learning Connections Preschool in St. Charles.

Name: Learning Connections Preschool employees

Town: St. Charles

Heroes' jobs: Child care

Reason for recognition: My dedicated staff returned to work in June, during a very uncertain time. Every day, these amazing women arrive with a smile behind their masks and love in their hearts. They tirelessly educate, nurture, and love the children in their charge.

One thing to know: The staff at LCP are the most dedicated women I know. I'm so proud of them and the grace they show during this unprecedented time.

Thank you for all you do!
