Our Staff
Our school is staffed with trained educators. Each member of our school faculty is sensitive to the needs of the students and their families and has a strong commitment to quality education.
The faculty meets weekly to discuss curriculum, plan programs and share and exchange ideas. In order to uphold the high standards of our program, staff development is ongoing throughout the year. This ensures that our teachers remain alert to the ever-changing needs of today's families and to the findings of current research.
Our director and our teachers are an unusually dedicated group of professionals whose level of commitment to each child does not stop at the classroom door, and whose commitment to education is truly an avocation. As a result, they bring to their jobs a unique and special blend of professional skills and personal experience.
