      <image:title>Home - Exceptional Staff</image:title>
      <image:caption>At Grammy’s Garden, we believe that a childcare center is only as good as the teachers who work there. In selecting teachers to join our staff, we carefully choose only those individuals that display the characteristics of dedication, enthusiasm, creativity, responsibility, and, of course, a true love for children and teaching. Our low turn-over rate and returning staff members is a testament to the positive work environment at Grammy’s Garden. At Grammy’s, our students get to know every teacher in the building creating an environment of safety and familiarity. Our children love their teachers and we think you will too!</image:caption>
