FACULTY

We are proud of our dedicated and well-qualified staff. All of our teachers are experienced educators, holding qualifications that exceed the requirements set by the State of California for preschool teachers.  They have all undergone thorough background checks and are certified by the Department of Justice as having no criminal record. In addition, all of our teachers are certified in C.P.R. and Pediatric First Aid. We require that all of our teachers continue to expand their education through workshops, classes, and in-service training regularly. Most of our teachers have been with us for three years or longer.
