Teachers

Chancellor Street is fortunate to have two outstanding teachers. They each bring to the job a genuine sense of caring and love for the children. They share a philosophy of education which is child-centered and stretches the imagination, knowledge and creativity of each child through a rich environment. Together they make a great team.
