Meet our Educators
The Preschool staff is comprised of trained and qualified teachers and a site Director. Teachers are carefully selected to provide an excellent preschool experience for children. During the year, each staff member must complete twenty-four hours of professional education, including CPR and first aid training. Staff members are also regularly trained in the use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), the child assessment-screening tool used by the Preschool.
