Hello! My name is Mrs. Angela Furlong and I am the preschool teacher at St. Bede School. I have taught preschool for 11 years, 10 of which were at Our Lady of the Lakes St. Peter School. I have also taught 3rd and 4th grade. I have taught, aided, and substituted in classrooms in Alabama, Indiana, and here in my home state of Illinois. I have three adult children that my husband and I enjoy visiting. I am happy to be part of the St. Bede School community.

  • I believe in providing a safe and strong educational environment in a setting that supports a preschooler’s developmental needs. The early childhood years are a time of rapid growth and development. Here at St. Bede’s Preschool, we incorporate a play-based and thematic curriculum. Through both discovery and spiritual guidance, it is my belief that the child will find that God’s world is an incredible place and they are an essential part of it.
