About Us
Our Teachers
Our teachers are the heart and soul of our preschool! We are fortunate to have a dedicated and caring team of educators who genuinely love working with children, and that passion shines through in everything they do. Our staff is experienced, compassionate, energetic, and creative, always striving to provide the best possible preschool experience for every child.
To maintain the highest quality of care and education, all of our teachers complete a minimum of 24 hours of professional development training each year, and all staff members undergo thorough background checks. In our Fours and Fives classes, we have at least one teacher with a teaching certificate or a degree in Early Childhood Education, creating a strong foundation for a smooth transition from preschool to Kindergarten.
