Our Staff 

Who Are We?                              

Our child care staff are experienced, trained professionals chosen for their warmth, creativity, experience with children, and commitment to excellence.  We employ people who are nurturing, who understand child development, and who respect each child as an individual. 

 Staff Retention

We are very proud of our caring and dedicated staff!  With over 30 full and part time staff, 15 or more of those staff have been with us 5 years or more and 5 teachers have been with our child care center over 10 years!
