Each of our Lead Teachers holds a Master’s Degree and all have more than 15 years teaching experience. The Assistant Teachers all have an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and some have or are pursuing Master’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.
