Meet the Team
Creating a home-away-from-home environment starts with our team.
Creating a home-away-from-home early childhood education experience starts with an effective, compassionate, and responsible team of individuals. Our team functions as a family unit, and exemplifies what it looks like to communicate, give and receive feedback, and establish trust with each coworker. We recognize that only when our team is operating intentionally and together - including our management, and every teacher and staff member- can we provide the best child care and preschool experience for our PKK families.
