Preschool Faculty
Of all the many reasons why your child should be at Our Savior’s, eighteen of them are at the head of our classrooms. Our faculty are among the most dedicated, caring and enthusiastic teachers of any educational facility, and an integral part of why we are a fully accredited U.S. Department of Education “No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School.”
