Why Our Staff Makes the Difference

Familiar Faces, Every Single Year

When a new school year starts at The Preschool at DUMC, your child already knows their teacher's name — because that teacher was almost certainly here last year, too. Most of our staff have been with us for ten or more years, a rarity in early childhood education that gives children and families a stable, predictable foundation they can count on.

Parents consistently give our staff high marks for their nurturing relationships with children and their open, consistent communication with families. We enjoy what we do, and it shows in every interaction.
