Please understand that on occasion your regular scheduled teacher may be absent. Great care and consideration goes into choosing appropriate substitute teachers. All of our substitute teachers have been trained or are in training, they received detailed lesson plans and always have a way to get hold of someone if needed. Please remember that just because we may look young it doesn't mean that we are unprepared. We all need to start somewhere! Thanks for your understanding on this matter.
