Meet our Team
PCC is lucky to have an amazing team of educators working with our learners every day! We have a combined total of over 80 years of experience building towers, painting pictures, pushing swings, singing songs, tying shoes, reading books, and creating the foundation of learning that your children will continue to build on for the rest of their lives.
If you speak with any of our preschool parents, they will all share their love and adoration for our staff, several of whom have served at our school for more than 20 years. PCC is proud to be a living wage employer in addition to offering health insurance benefits to our fabulous teaching and administrative staff. We know this sets us apart from other half-day preschool programs in the area and keeps our teachers healthy and happy!
