Meet the Team

Our knowledgeable staff is dedicated to fostering a love for learning, promoting independence, and respecting the unique heritage of our mountain town. Because Telluride Preschool is a one-room schoolhouse, the students interact with all staff members continuously and we have been fortunate to have a very consistent staff, year in and year out.
