general information-
professional staff includes two professional directors with extensive background in the field of education. The directors supervise all the teachers, develop curriculum, meet with parents and generally set forth the high educational standards of the school. Preschool teachers responsible for curriculum development are state certified and highly experienced. Each class has a teaching team, who pool their educational background and skills to provide a significant educational, physical, social and emotional growth experience. Teachers begin each year with a planned curriculum related to a variety of themes. They view children individually and as part of the class group. As the process of learning emerges, individual assessments are made to enable the introduction of appropriate educational stimuli to take place as the year progresses.
