Our Teachers & Staff
The quality of education relates directly to the high standard of qualifications of the permanent staff. All staff hold a Diploma of Teaching (Early Childhood or Primary) and a Montessori Teaching Diploma (or studying towards completing one). There is a long history of stable and harmonious relations amongst staff resulting in the development of a strong sense of teamwork, and a solid foundation for the Preschool.
