We are fortunate to retain a highly trained and dedicated staff of professional teachers. Lead teachers have, at a minimum, a Bachelor's degree with an emphasis in early childhood education and prior teaching experience. Undergraduate students are regularly placed in the classroom as student teachers or interns. They work under the expert guidance of the lead teacher and a practicum supervisor, and their experience is carefully designed to focus on all aspects of classroom teaching. Paid assistants are also utilized for some hours of program operation.
Parents contract for a specific daily schedule and period of time.
For infant and one year old classrooms, enrollment contracts are offered for either a 9 or 12 months period. For children in the two-five year age range, all enrollment contracts are for a 9 month academic year program but an additional 13 summer program is also available. Daily schedule options and the school calendar are indicated on the tuition fee sheet. The school is open equally to University and Non-University affiliated families. An application may be sent to either Pre-school site, and must be accompanied by the application fee.
