Our teachers and staff are passionate about educating and nurturing children, and the majority of our teachers have extensive experience within the childcare industry.
We also have many teachers who already have, or are working towards their Childhood Development Associate Credentials, Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s Degree in the education field.
As a corporate team, everyone strives for excellence through continuing education.
For instance, we attend bi-annual professional development trainings, college courses and seminars to ensure we are evolving and expanding our teaching knowledge.
In addition, teachers are trained and have up-to-date certifications in both CPR and First Aid.
At the end of the day, the key to our success is the passion for teaching and love of learning that we all share.
