The quality of the program is due to the quality of the staff. It is vital to attract staff that is experienced and knowledgeable in the field of early childhood. Each classroom is staffed with full-time teachers. Additional part-time staff float between rooms to offer additional support or coverage where needed. Arleans Little Treasures strives to hire educators with the following qualifications:
- Lead Teachers must have or be in the process of obtaining their Child Development Associate Credential.
Each staff person must receive a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education in child development or special education each year. This requirement is over and above what state licensing regulations require and is crucial in maintaining qualified teachers for the ongoing success of Arleans Little Treasures program.
All teachers must have some level of experience with young children and demonstrate a genuine interest in children. All staff members must have an initial physical, TB test, criminal records check, and a reference inquiry before employment begins. To get to know them better, please send us a message.
