Our Team

Our teachers and staff are the heart of our program. With an average tenure of more than ten years at FPDS, they are a tight-knit group who work together and support each other in caring for your children.

We really appreciate the low staff turnover—something uncommon for childcare. One of the teachers was our eldest’s teacher from 0-3, she is now the teacher for our youngest. Other teachers have been there 20+ years. Teachers always have a smile on their face. Our kids run towards them every day.
