The teachers at Mary Meyer believe in helping children find the capacity for empathy, kindness and listening. They help children learn patience with themselves and others. The teachers assist the children in making and sharing friendships. They foster an environment where children learn how to behave responsibly in a group. They also facilitate activities that capture the interests of the children while helping them to take safe risks and try new things. Above all, the teachers strive to make Mary Meyer School a place where children feel self-confident and happy.

Everyone at Mary Meyer School is committed to making a child’s first introduction to school positive and, of course, fun. All of our teachers are trained in early childhood education and posses a deep commitment to the needs of three, four and five year old children. With a child to teacher ratio of 6 to 1, Mary Meyer School provides a small and intimate environment where each child is known and valued for his or her unique contribution to the classroom.

We want to be an active part of your child’s life, and we welcome an open communication between teachers and the director and parents. We have two formal parent teacher conferences per year to discuss your child’s progress. However, we are available to meet informally to discuss your child’s experience. We are just as likely to contact you to discuss a particular concern as we are to tell you a great or funny story about your child’s day. We want to celebrate with you your child’s daily achievements.
