Preschool and kindergarten classes, with a target size of 16, include a lead teacher and an associate teacher. Such low ratios allow our teachers to give a high level of attention as they work with students individually, in small groups, and in full class settings. Our preschool team also includes specialists in Technology, Science, Art, Music, Spanish, Physical Education, and Library bringing an enriched preschool experience to our students. Along with support from our Lower School Counselor, our Lower School Chaplain, dedicated reading and math specialists, and a licensed speech and language pathologist, our youngest learners have an entire team to support their development.
All lead teachers hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. They know and enjoy all the ages with whom they work. They also remain committed to the process of continual growth-always seeking to deepen their understanding of children and incorporate best practices into their teaching. Their expertise and that of our co-curricular teachers is on full display in the classrooms providing students with a fully-enriched experience that peaks their curiosity and empowers them as learners.
