*The classes are taught by our regular staff members: Ms. Deb, Mr. Joe, Ms. Julie, Ms Sarah and Mrs. Sandi . As a parent myself I know how important it is to know your child is in a safe environment.    Each of our staff members has had a state police background check done on them. It is important to us as well as you that our child is safe while they are in our care.
