Our Staff
All of our staff work to provide a warm, nurturing, Christ-centered, safe and loving environment where children’s faith is nurtured and where self concepts are enhanced, independence is encouraged and individuality is respected. Our teachers are highly-qualified and experienced early childhood educators, who lead by example. Each staff member has been CPR/First Aid certified and trained in current health and safety best practices.
