Dana Stafford

Dana has been the Two's Head Teacher at St. James Children's School since the summer of 1997 when St. James Children's Center became St. James Children's School and our preschool program started.

Dana has a B.S. in Family Studies from the University of Maryland and has been working with children since 1988 when she worked at Potomac Village School which actually was the first renter at St. James. With brief stints at other jobs working with children or going to school she has essentially worked in the same building for 19 years!

Dana is a kind, caring and thoughtful teacher who is tuned in to the children's capabilities and needs.

Gina's love and compassion for children is immeasurable. She is a loving and caring teacher who has molded the lives of many children. She is a delight and an asset to our program.
