Meet the Director: Radisson
Hello! My name is Nora Lesnau and I am the Program
Director for our Little Lukes Preschool & Childcare Center in Radisson
(Baldwinsville). In the summer of 2010, I joined Little Lukes as an Itinerant
Speech Therapist and worked as an itinerant for two years before switching to
center-based therapy for the Radisson and Dewitt centers. In July of 2016, I
became the Program Director at Radisson. I have been with Little Lukes for 9
years and I am grateful for every moment I have been able to positively impact
the children and their families.
The reason why I decided to join a pediatric team of
therapists and teachers is because I actually needed and received speech therapy
services as a child. My experience inspired me to pursue becoming a Speech Therapist
myself. Not only had I enjoyed it, but I knew what a difference it made in my
life and I wanted the chance to enjoy making the same positive influence in
children’s lives. The more time I spent working with our preschoolers and our
team, the more variety of needs I experienced. That led me to pursuing my
Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I saw what a growing need there was and
felt passionately that each child is so unique in their social & behavioral
needs. I believe in our collaborative ability to find techniques that work
specifically for each child.
My mission at Little Lukes is to unlock each individual’s
understanding, passion, and growth. I know we all share the mission that each
child we care for feels confident and loved while pursuing their education. Our
individual students and our school as a whole succeed because we have great
relationships as coworkers who become friends, who then become family. We care
so deeply about who we serve and what we do. We continuously collaborate to
create a fun environment, which creates a great environment for our students to
succeed!
My team and I are always available to meet a new family.
If you are interested in enrolling your little one in our program, please feel
