Our Team
Our knowledgeable and professional staff also set us apart. We only recruit teachers whose long term goals include a career in early care and education. Each employee must either have already obtained or be working towards an associate’s degree in early childhood education. Upon accepting an offer of employment each staff member must sign a professional development plan that requires completion of a minimum of an associate’s degree within two years of employment. Further professional development is encouraged through attendance at workshops and training.
Our staff members are required to wear uniforms and maintain a neat and professional appearance. They are evaluated on the level of service they provide to current and prospective customers. Poor customer service and unprofessional behavior will be highly discouraged. Our teachers are required to talk with, read to and exercise with the students daily.
