Our staff
First aid and CPR
A staff member trained in First Aid and CPR is always present.
Teamwork
Our school is run by a director and overseen by a Parent Board that assists in decision making and fundraising.
Four teachers collaboratively teach the two classrooms. We are proud of our team’s collective experience and qualifications. We learn from one another and continue to improve our service to parents and their children.
We are grateful for our long term substitute teachers – previous members of staff like Kitt Landdell and Evann Orleck-Jetter who cannot stay away for long. When in Vermont, they substitute for us.
