Our Team

Our educators are passionate and committed to nurturing children's love of learning about the world. Our teaching team has been together for more than a decade, growing together in our own learning about children and education. Professional development is an ongoing priority for our teachers who attend workshops and conferences locally and at a national level. Most importantly, our teachers build individual relationships with each child, getting to know and celebrate every child's personality, learning style and abilities.
