• Half of the lead teachers have an AA Degree in Early Childhood Education or Career Pathways Level 3.

• Teachers and the administrator receive 10 hours of specialized training per year. This shows a commitment to expanding their knowledge and skills. In order to support your child’s development and learning, teachers utilize these skills in their curriculum planning.
