Welcome to Pre-K 4!

Welcome to Preschool!  I’m looking forward to a very fun and successful school year.  We have so many engaging learning activities, field trips and activities planned for the school year. I will write weekly emails giving an overview of the week to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on in the classroom.  Every month you will receive a detailed calendar of our daily activities.  In addition, I will post daily photos of our fun adventures.  I’m looking forward to making this the best year yet! 

Meet Mrs. Oetking!

Hi! My name is Lisa Oetking, and I have been teaching at St. Norbert since the summer of 2007.  I am also the Director of our preschool program.  I graduated from Bradley University with an Early Childhood degree in 2007.  A few years later, I completed my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University.  My experiences at both universities prepared me to be the best role-model I can be to young children.

In my free time, I love to travel, hang out with friends and family, go on runs, try new restaurants and decorate my house.  My husband and I recently moved from the city to Northbrook.  It’s so nice to move to a town where I feel at home. 

The St. Norbert community is truly a second family to me, and I feel so incredibly blessed to work with such caring and supportive faculty, families and students.  One of my favorite memories at St. Norbert was when I got married here in the summer of 2019 and all of my students came to the church.  The picture of my husband, students and me is one I will cherish forever.  St. Norbert School is a very special place that I feel so honored to be a part of.  Please never hesitate to reach out to me, I’d love to get to know all of the families with preschool children in our program.  I’m looking forward to a fun and successful school year.
