CPK Teachers

Meet The Teachers

We love our teachers, and we think you will too! All of our preschool programs are taught by a certified head teacher (either Elementary, Early Childhood, Secondary, or CDA) and assistant teacher(s) with early childhood experience. Each member of our staff has been thoroughly screened before hiring, in order to provide a safe environment for your child.
