Why send preschool teachers across the globe for training?
1.) Other professions take training trips. We believe educators deserve world class instruction, too.
2.) Our staff hails from around the globe, and so do our students.
3.) We're open to learning methods from other lands-- hometown doesn't have ALL the answers:)
