Deb became part of the Hearts & Hands Christian Preschool family in 2007 and says she truly loves coming to work each day. She not only enjoys continuing her own education, but also believes she learns something new from the children all the time.

 

Deb and her husband, Tim, both grew up in the Oconomowoc area. When Tim entered active duty with the Army in 1987, the couple spent years traveling. Their daughter, Alyssa, was born in Hawaii in 2002, and after Tim’s retirement in 2006, they returned to Oconomowoc. The Schuylers are members of First Congregational UCC.
