Our Administrative, Teaching, and Kitchen Staff

Our staff of child care, non profit, and food service talents represents some of the best of St. Louis. Some of our staff have only been with us for a year or two, while some have been with us for more than 30. Yet all are near the top of their field in terms of both skill and quality. But above all else, what we pride all our administrative, teaching, and kitchen staff on the most is their commitment to not just their careers, but to our cause. We are proud of all our staff and their dedication to our children, as well as all of the hard work they do every day.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to get in touch. If you would like to get in touch with our teaching or kitchen staff, please ask an administrator in the list below to put you in touch.
