Our preschool teachers are passionate about your child's happiness, growth and safety, and providing a nurturing environment that cultivates self-esteem.  This is more than a job for our teachers. It’s a calling on their lives and it gives them the opportunity to share their passion for Jesus, while they inspire, engage, and awaken the wonder inside each and every child.  Our teachers are dedicated to developing your child's potential and are sensitive to your child's individual needs.  Our low teacher-to-student ratios allow teachers to focus on the individual learning styles and needs of each child in our preschool. Our teachers and staff want to form a strong partnership with you to ensure the best possible experience for your child. Teachers provide daily communication with families and seek to understand your unique needs.
