Hello!  My name is Elena Amirault and I am honored to be serving you and your family as the Director of Early Childhood.  My number one priority is to ensure that our early childhood centers are safe, nurturing, and committed to providing the highest-quality education.  This is my eleventh year serving students and families through education and I feel blessed to have found my calling.   Early Learning is essential as the brain is developing at an accelerated rate during the first five years.  Hazelwood Early Childhood is committed to providing opportunities for high quality learning and interventions for students in the Hazelwood community.  All students deserve to have access to a high quality education during these crucial years.  We believe all students have gifts, strengths, unique learning styles, and individual needs. Learning should be fun, hands-on, and relevant to real life skills needed for the twenty-first century.  We are committed to providing extensive opportunites for your child to become successful and gain confidence as a life long learner. Our teachers and staff love what they do and look forward to helping your child to discover their strengths, overcome their obstacles and bloom into the miracles they truly are. We believe parent involvement is key to academic success and greatly look forward to working with you. Thank you for trusting us with your precious child!
