Meet Mrs. Alison

---

Hello!  My name is Alison Hantak, and I am the lead teacher in the 4 year old 5 day classroom.  I am thrilled to be joining the Preschool Team this year.  I am originally from Kankakee, IL (a small town south of Chicago).  I came to Cincinnati to attend Xavier University.  I graduated from XU in May of 2003 with a degree in Early Childhood Education.  After graduation I hoped to stay in Cincinnati and was blessed to find a job at St. Andrew – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School.  I taught second grade for fifteen years at SASEAS School.  When the opportunity arose to join the Seton Preschool team I was eager to try something new and be part of this wonderful program!  While working at SASEAS I returned to XU and earned a Master’s Degree in Reading Education along with a K-12 Ohio Reading Endorsement.  As an undergrad  at Xavier I met my husband, Neil.  We have three energetic boys: 11 year-old Keegan, 8 year-old Griffin, and Riley who will be turning 4 in October.  Keegan will be a sixth grader at SASEAS this year, and Griffin will be a third grader.  Keegan and Griffin both attended Seton Preschool.  They had wonderful experiences and were well prepared for Kindergarten.  Riley has started Seton Preschool this year.  I love spending time with my family, and they keep me very busy!  I feel very blessed to be working with your children, and I look forward to creating an environment where their curiosity and love of learning is nurtured!
