Hi, I am Julie Haberer. I am one of the pre-k teachers at Highland Primary. I have been teaching pre k for several years. I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I recently received my endorsement to teach Special Education. I really enjoy this age group and we have a lot of fun!

I live in Highland with my husband and three kids. I love working in the same community where I live! I also enjoy watching my kids' sporting events, reading, and working in my garden. I am very excited to start a new school year!

Hi! My name is Erin Bloemer and I am so excited to be teaching Pre-K at Highland Primary! I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education with a specialization in Early Childhood Special Education. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and I am certified to teach Special Education up to 3rd grade. I have spent several years teaching kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade Special Education here at the Primary.

My husband, Matt and I live out in the country in Alhambra. We stay busy with our two daughters, Kate and Emma. I love to bake, go on adventures with my family, and read as much as I can!

I can't wait to help your child grow and learn through play in Pre-K!

Hi! My name is Nicole Zuccarelli, and I couldn't be more excited to be teaching here at Highland Primary! I grew up in the small town of Arcola, Illinois, but have lived in Highland since 2014. I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education with a specialization in Early Childhood Special Education. I absolutely love to teach and feel so fortunate that I get to help your children learn and grow here at HP!

My husband and I have two young kiddos and a 90 pound fur baby that keep us busy with their many activities! I enjoy cooking, going on adventures, watching my daughter dance, playing in the backyard with my son, spending time outside, and hosting gatherings for family and friends!
