The NELC has a committed and dedicated staff of teachers who have been with us from three to 35 years. Our staff members have made the choice to be teachers in early education because of their passion and love for educating and helping young children. NELC has excellent teachers who believe much of a child's emotional, physical and intellectual development will occur before they start Kindergarten. They are committed to creating and promoting classrooms that are nurturing and responsive.
