Staff

     Dedicated individuals with long term program commitment, neighborhood connection, common sense, respect for all children and cultures and some well honed skills to pass on to others.

 

*No child care is provided:  a non-independent child [usually children under 5] must be accompanied by a responsible sibling approved by staff or a responsible adult. Why?  Sometimes children who simply cannot behave and are disrupting quality work/class/learning time will be asked to leave, right now.  They will need a sibling or adult to take them away, right now.   

From a 6 year participant, “We keep coming because you stay at us and encourage us to do activities we would never have considered doing”.
