Our Teachers

We look for teachers who are kind, trustworthy, and love working with kids! 

We have a ratio of 1 teacher to every 4-6 students. 

When bringing new teachers in, we always interview, background check, consult referrals, fingerprint, train through Child Care Licensing and at the school, and look for the very best and kindest. We know that good teachers are what makes a good program!
