Our Staff

Our staff is comprised of three classroom teachers as well as a Center Director.  Our teachers meet state requirements for early childhood centers and the Center Director meets DHS licensing requirements for administering the program.

 

We have an excellent teacher-student ratio for each of our preschool programs, allowing for exceptional individual attention for each child.  Meet our staff below!
