Maria joined the board in the winter of 2023, after her daughter began attending TTP during the prior fall. She is a mom of 3 young children and participates in MOPS at WPC, where she has gotten to know other TTP and WPC moms. Maria previously taught elementary school on the west side of Chicago and then was a community social worker in Charlotte, NC. Now back in the Chicagoland area, she is excited to find ways to serve children and families in the community in which she resides with her family.
Pat Abraham

Our Tiny Treasures Preschool Director serves as a non-voting member of our board and presents monthly reports to us about all things preschool. As a Board, we are excited to continue working closely with Pat for the new school year in her third year as director. We appreciate being able to make the most of all the knowledge and passion she brings to the table with her extensive and impressive early childhood education experience. You can read more about Pat's background, experience and family here.
Beth Dancy
Treasurer
Beth was on the original board that formed the preschool in 1996. She then held several positions on the board and served us faithfully until 2007. We were very thankful when Beth rejoined the board in 2017 and has helped us greatly by bringing her knowledge of our past to the table as well. She is mother to two grown daughters who both attended the preschool. She has passion for children and volunteering with multiple organizations in the community. Beth is currently the President of a local family owned manufacturing company.
