Staff
Our staff members understand that they too are continuing to learn each day and with each challenge. Ongoing professional development provides continuing education and other opportunities for staff to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field, including: new programs and practices, routines, pending policy, legislation and regulatory changes. In addition to staff training, all staff working directly with the children are adequately acquainted with the program philosophy goals, emergency health and safety procedures, child abuse and neglect reporting procedures and expectations for ethical conduct.
Consistency of care is very important for young children. It is also important to the team effort. Staff longevity is our goal. It is our sincerest hope that through open communication and effective teamwork we can continue to keep staff turnover to a minimum.
Our employees go through appropriate screening techniques, including state and federal background checks. Our directors observe the teachers in their classrooms on an on-going basis. At ninety days they go through an informal review and once a year after that.
