OUR STAFF
Our teachers, the cornerstone of our program, are warm, creative, enthusiastic and committed to the growth and development of every child in their care. Their qualifications exceed the standards set by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
We’re dedicated to continuing the professional development of each of our teachers, who must complete a minimum of 20 hours of continuing education a year on topics including brain research, health and safety, special needs, and developmentally appropriate practices.
