Faculty and Staff

Beyond their strong academic credentials, our teachers delight in the learning process and in working with children. They structure their classes to accommodate various learning styles. Our staff cares how a child learns as well as what a child learns. They keep the curriculum exciting by developing materials to meet the specific needs of the group. Our teachers profess a love of both teaching and learning, and demonstrate concern and caring for each individual student. Teachers are more than just educators. They are role models and friends.

Specialists are an important piece of the GCDS curriculum. Trish Snider, MS, OTR/L, is the school's occupational therapist. She services children during the academic day in both private/group sessions.

Heather Spisso, M.A., CCC-SLP, is the school's licensed Speech language pathologist. Her therapy sessions can be individual or group during the child's academic day.

Our staff consists of special educators working together to meet the needs of your child.
