Our Caring Staff
Qualifications:
Our staff spends quality time with each child, helping to motivate, teach
and guide them through their daily activities. They are well-steeped in
such important disciplines as CPR/First Aid, child psychology, team building,
and conflict resolution. Consequently, they are able to help children of
all ages not only grow, but flourish. An intensive training program prior
to the summer helps sharpen the staff's considerable skills. The Age Factor: The average age of our staff is 31. With an older staff, which includes many teachers and parents just like you, we can truly focus on your child's development and well being.
