Our staff is comprised of fully qualified caregivers. Every teacher meets or exceeds the licensing requirements set forth by the State of New York.

 

Each room is staffed keeping in mind the ratios recommended by the Office of Children and Family Services. Our staff receive 30 hours of training every two years on various topics pertaining to Early Childhood. Child CPR, and First Aid and Child Abuse and Maltreatment are included in these training hours. Before they are hired, each person is screened for any complaints regarding Child Abuse or Sex Abuse and is fingerprinted as well. A TB test and a doctor’s note stating that the person is physically and mentally fit to work with children is also required.
