Early Education

Pre-Kindergarten

Teachers

"When a student is wrestling with an academic or personal decision, we can consider together the possible benefits and help them make a well-informed decision. Parents place great trust in us for the education of their most precious gifts, and that is not a responsibility that I take lightly."

Mrs. Angie Baker, Upper School Director
