MEET OUR STAFF
WE WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR CHILD!
All staff have a minimum of a four-year college degree, are certified and well experienced in early childhood education. Each student is in a class with a primary teacher. We schedule parent/teacher conferences two times a year. Our teachers are so dedicated to the children, they give the parents their email address AND HOME PHONE NUMBER. We have very little staff turnover.
We also have special staff to teach our enrichment classes. Parents are amazed at how much their children learn through these classes.
