Whiz Kids Daycare Staff
Our staff is the stepping stone block on which we implement our philosophy and curriculum. Without a consistent, caring staff, a solid curriculum cannot be employed. Our staff is comprised of professional, certified, experienced, and caring individuals who are required to attend workshops and seminars throughout the year. Once a candidate is selected and hired they go through a thorough training and testing. All teachers are observed and evaluated on a regular basis. Ongoing training is required to maintain the quality of the program and competency of our staff
Consistency of Staff gives the children the time to establish relationships and emotional bonds. An important developmental benchmark for success in a child’s future. Over 80% of our full time staff have been at Whiz Kids at least 10 years. All are required to maintain a Red Cross First-Aid and Infant/Child CPR. Certification
Consultants retained on our staff include an educational consultant, a registered nurse, and a psychotherapist.
