Hello! My name is Malissa Tilander, and I’m thrilled to be a part of the St Gregory the Great family as the K3/K4 teacher. With 11 years of experience in the classroom, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of wonderful children and their families. My journey as an educator has been filled with growth, learning, and a deep love for shaping young minds during one of the most important stages of development.
I’ve always known that teaching is my passion, I immediately felt at home in the classroom. I earned my bachelor's in early childhood education from UW-Whitewater. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse groups of students, and I’m continually inspired by their curiosity, creativity, and resilience. Whether we’re singing songs, exploring the outdoors, or building friendships, every day in kindergarten is an adventure!
When I am not teaching, I enjoy reading, baking, spending time with my husband, daughter, and other family and friends, and traveling.


Mrs. Tilander
