“I have been a teacher at Pearl Buck Preschool for 10 years, and I still love every single day I get to teach in my Tip-Top Turtle Toddler classroom. At Pearl Buck Preschool, the child is the curriculum and the overall most important concept we work on with our children and families is instilling felt safety and trust through a relationship focused foundation.”
