Luminary Montessori Preschool Staff

We feel so fortunate to have had all 3 of our children attend TKM/Luminary. The teachers have fostered their love of learning and they enjoyed going to school every single day. We’ve been so impressed with the thought, time, and energy they put into their classroom and teaching. The teachers truly feel like family to us and our children, and we are grateful beyond words for them. ~ Cortney
