Staff

Elmwood’s staff is dedicated, creative and caring. Each teacher is committed to the Elmwood Philosophy and Mission Statement. With warmth, affection and respect, our teachers provide an educational experience which encourages play-filled learning.

Our staff meets regularly to plan curriculum for each age level. On going staff development is required for all staff which consists of professional meetings and workshops as well as our own staff development program. All teachers are members of National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and their monthly journal is part of our staff development.
