When my husband and I began looking at schools, we wanted to find a place with strong academic programs, a faith-centered environment and a strong sense of community. At Saint Gabriel, we found all of these and so much more. We've watched both our daughters blossom in so many ways. They've already developed a love of learning, thanks to their fantastic teachers and incredible administration. Their confidence is soaring, they are forming friendships, getting involved in activities, and most importantly, growing in their faith. ~Nicole Hoogenboom, mother of two children at Learning Loft and St. Gabriel School 

Meet our teachers
Our teachers are loving, caring individuals who answer a divine calling to educate your precious children. They understand the preschool years have a delicate balance between work and play and that children learn best when at the important job of playing. Meet our wonderful teachers below.

Ann Silvester,
​Program Director

Our highly qualified teachers receive training to keep current with new concepts in the field of Early Childhood Development and Education. Our teachers have been trained and implement award winning curricula such as Fundations,  Handwriting Without Tears, and Conscious Discipline.
Interwoven throughout the Learning Loft educational experience is the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Our teachers utilize the Loyola Press curriculum, God Made Everything, which helps them celebrate the joy of being a child of God! We take your child’s preschool education seriously and invest in our teachers for your child’s future success!
