Our Owner Eileen Johnson
Hi I am Director here at Tooterville. I have 3 children who each spend time at Toot! Paulo is 7 , Presley is 4, and Penny is 1 year. As a family we like to be silly and laugh, visit grandma, read, and watch movies. I have a degree in Human Development and Family Studies from UW-Stout. I have been working with children for about 15 years in a variety of settings. When I am in the classroom my favorite things to do with the kids is sing songs and teach Spanish. I studied Spanish and spent a year in Central America. I like to incorporate the fun knowledge of another language along with the culture and music. I enjoy working with kids because it helps me continue to see the world through the eyes of a child…which is a precious thing.

Tooterville is a great place to send my 3 year old son. He loves going
every day and always learns something new. I am glad that he likes it and that I
know he is in a healthy environment. We truly see the value in eco-friendly and
eco-healthy environments for our child.
