EAST ALTON - In the brick building on Shamrock Avenue that once housed local elementary students, center director Pam Schwarberg gazes through her large glass office window at a group of preschool children playing in the large activity center of Toddle Towne Learning Center’s East Alton location. “Watching the boys and girls having fun is the best part of my day,” she shared. “We have rotating stations like an auto repair shop or post office to spark their imagination. Their little minds are like sponges, and I love seeing them learn while they play.” Since 1977, Ms. Pam has taught children and even grandchildren of former students.
