Illume Pursuits Daycare

Peter - Director

For over 27 years, I walked in covenant faith in ministry, marriage, and family. I had the privilege to believe and work with kindergartener children for over 23 years as a public school teacher. I have field-tested and established the creation of Symphony Reader and cMath, the most effective, innovative, and fun-filled learning programs that ensure academic success, confidence, and a love for learning. These programs are patented and exclusive to Illume Pursuits Daycare. Peter administers academic education at Illume Pursuits while working as a credentialed public school teacher in Santa Ana. I have a bachelor's from NYU and a Masters from USC.

Fun Fact: Every year at my school, I love participating in retirement skits and playing Santa Claus.

Daniel - Teacher

In 2019, I earned my Masters Degree in Education from the University of Notre Dame. As part of my courses, I held full-time teaching responsibilities as a fourth-grade teacher in Tucson, Arizona, for two years. I am excited to lead the implementation of every course offered and to meet the individual needs of every student based on best practice.

Fun Fact: In my 8th-grade school play "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table," I played Merlin.

Chris - Teacher

In 2019, I completed my undergraduate courses at the University of Southern California and graduated with a degree in Business Administration. During all of my four years, I interned with CDW learning about the integration of technology in higher education. Here at Illume Pursuits Daycare, I am excited to help integrate our Coding course on our iPads, oversee our management software, and manage our website. Additionally, I will be assisting with teaching all of our courses and supervise the students. I am also the lead designer of our Discipleship curriculum.

Fun Fact: When I was younger, I wanted to be an Archaeologist because of Indiana Jones.
