Our Teachers
Every teacher throughout our program is passionate about Early Childhood Education. Our teachers build their own curriculum based on the needs and interests of their class and each individual child. Our classroom environment utilizes materials that stimulate learning through intentional play and discovery. We provide an environment that allows us to build a community of teachers to support each individual child in our program and let their passion for Early Education grow. We have many long term teachers and a very low turn over rate for our industry.
