Our staff has various levels of experience and education. Parents can review the biographies of our teachers that are posted on the Teachers Board at school. We are training our teaching staff to teach all age groups. With the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching, our teachers must be competent in teaching from age 2 to age 5, as the teachers remain with their children for the duration of the pre-school years. Together our teachers bring over 100 years of experience. Some teachers have been with us for 17 years and others just got started a year ago. The majority of our teachers have a College Degree or a Child Development Associate (CDA) degree or both. Our director is certified and has a National CDA. One of the qualifying hiring criteria is given by our children. We go through 3 levels of interviews: at the owner level, director and peer level and at the child level. To complete the interview process, the candidate has to spent one hour in the classroom with the children. The reaction of the children will tell us if the candidate should be offered the job. We believe in continuous development and training is provided beyond the required number of hours by the Department of Children and Families.
