Meet our professional Staff
All classes are taught by state certified teachers and assistants. The teachers at TSNS are certified professionals in their field. Our programs have formal curriculums and goals. There is still plenty of play and fun for your child, yet it is purposeful. In addition, there is no time commitment required from our parents to teach classes.
