faculty
Being a guiding member of Raintree is a serious commitment of time and energy. It’s a serious commitment to children. Our faculty, with paint-smudged faces and marker on their pants, are dedicated to the delicate art of teaching. Every faculty member is certified in early childhood or elementary education and serves as your child’s guide during these most magical young years of their academic life.
