Meet our Teachers

Here at Fairmont, we teach foundational skills, such as recognizing letters, colors, numbers and shapes, as well as social, language, and motor skills. We stimulate their desire to learn by introducing students to questioning, experimenting and problem solving. We can’t wait to love on your children!
