Our staff members are trained in the field of Early Childhood Education. The longevity of our staff provides continuity from year to year as we offer a nurturing environment where children can grow and flourish.

"St. Stephen's has been a second home for me for the last 23 years.  I love going to work every day and doing what I love best - taking care of children as well as working with people who share my passion.  I have formed many lasting relationships with parents and their children and have even seen some of my former students go off to college.  I love the staff of St. Stephen's dedication, creative curriculum and supportive environment that nurtures every student's growth.  I am proud to work in a positive, inclusive atmosphere!" - Laurie (right)
