OUR STAFF

Our highly qualified staff is the foundation of our commitment to early childhood education. All staff members exceed state requirements for education and experience, and are required to maintain their professional credentials on an annual basis. The school places a high priority on teacher training and devotes annual funding to professional development. To distinguish their qualifications further, all of our staff members are parents and many had children who attended the school. All are devoted to our family partnerships, our Christian emphasis, and our belief in play as a methodology for learning.
