A highly educated staff member is a critical element in a quality
child care program. Teachers at the Center must hold a
minimum of an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Development. Several are currently working on their bachelor’s degree in the field.
In addition to their education, the staff is encouraged to continue to
grow both personally and professionally in the filed by attending
workshops, conferences and seminars.
Classroom assistants, both full- and part-time, are employed to provide
greater on-on-one interactions with the children in the classrooms, and
to serve as substitutes when a teacher is out. Many of the assistants
are students in the Early Childhood Development program at Columbus
State and, in addition to their coursework, also participate in
conferences and other professional development opportunities.
The Director, Supervisor and Coordinator all hold advanced degrees in
education and are committed to maintaining the highest level of quality
programming.
