Our Staff

Administration, Preschool & Kindergarten Teachers and Assistants

Studies have shown that nothing impacts a student’s ability to learn, grow and achieve more than good teachers. This is precisely why we place such an importance on finding the best teachers possible. All of our preschool & kindergarten teachers have received training in early education, elementary education or other closely-related fields. We purposefully select those who have a “gift of teaching” which a certification does not always ensure.

A Community of Learning

Our dedicated staff with low teacher-to-student ratios create an environment rich with attention and encouragement. We are committed to knowing each student’s strengths, weaknesses and interests. We believe parents are the most important and influential people in a child’s development. For this reason, we provide many opportunities for parents to be involved through the P.I.T. Crew (Parent Involvement Team), volunteering opportunities and special events.
