Our team of passionate educators is the heart of our daycare. Get to know the smiling faces that nurture and guide your child’s growth and development. We take pride in our caring and experienced staff members who make every day special for our little learners. Our staff members have attended training programs sponsored by NSU Child and Family Network and other institutions to better qualify as staff in our center. Most of them have received certificates of recognition for their extra efforts in attending and completing the programs.
Becoming Part of Our Team
Prior to employment, applicants are interviewed and references checked. They are also given a staff manual to read at the time of employment so they are aware of what to expect. After an applicant is chosen to be part of our team, they will undergo a six-week training and probationary period. The State Police will do background checks of the employees to see if they have any records of convictions. CPR/Pediatric First Aid training is also required, which is regularly updated.
Employees are also required to twelve (12) clock hours of continuing education in various areas of child development/ child care problems. Then, an additional three (3) hours of training is required in Health and Safety Procedures for all employees. All training must be approved by the Department of Social Services, wherein the staff member is promoted to permanent status after completing the training program.
Aside from our teachers and staff, our Head Teachers will assist your child’s teacher with class projects, field trips, and curriculum requirements.
