Our Teachers
"Teachers who love teaching, teach children to love learning." - Robert John Meehan
Our Mission:
- We commit to come alongside parents as they allow us to partner with them in facilitating the growth and development of their child.
- We commit to gain knowledge and understanding of each child in order that we can best meet their needs on every developmental level and help them strive to reach the next step.
- We commit to creating a loving, patient, rich, challenging and safe environment that allows each child to fully express their ideas as they explore their own interests and learn about the interests of others.
- We commit to model positive and enthusiastic interactions with each other(staff) and children.
- We commit to daily showing God’s love by the way we love our students.
