The faculty at North Shore Nursery School are qualified, experienced, and devoted to their work with young children. Our school has a healthy record of retaining our faculty and many have been teaching here for more than 10 years. Each of our Lead Teachers holds a Master’s degree and they have 50 years of combined teaching experience! Our Assistant teachers are also highly qualified holding Master’s, Bachelor’s, and Associate’s degrees. Just as we delight in the individuality of our children, we celebrate the unique talents and interests of our faculty and have a strong commitment to their ongoing professional development.
