First and foremost, we look for people who enjoy working with and relate well with young children. We look for teachers with education and/or experience with young children. We provide ongoing training for all staff members and encourage our teachers to continue their formal education with a CDA (Child Development Associate credential), an Associate's or Bachelor's degree. To find and keep good teachers, we use specialized methods like the Scheig Hiring and Assessment System, which compares our teachers’ performance to the highest national standards for preschool teachers. Our employee benefits program is very competitive in the industry, including health insurance, life insurance, paid vacation, paid sick, paid holiday, flexible scheduling, financial planning assistance, and a variety of supplemental insurance plans.
