Faculty & Staff
The faculty and staff are the backbone of our school! We respect each child as an individual, and strive to support parents in their role as primary caretakers of the children in our school. Our Head Teachers all hold a Bachelors or Masters degree in Early Childhood Education, Child Development or a related field. Our Assistant Teachers have all received specialized training, as well as demonstrated competence in working with young children.
