● Faculty & Staff
Our Team
The teachers and staff of A Child’s Garden School are dedicated professionals with years of experience in early childhood education. They each are gifted with individual talents in art, crafts and music, which they generously share with the children.
The faculty’s profound love of teaching is reflected by the thoughtful consideration given each child individually and by the creative experiences planned for them in small and larger groups.
