Meet the Staff
The Prairie Crossing BASE Staff all come from various backgrounds and experiences. Together, we create a unique environment with many ways to integrate our teachings and learnings into the lives of all of the students we come in contact with. We are child-oriented and strive to connect in individual ways to help each child develop and grow their foundations. We work as a whole to bring the best to your family each and every day!
