OUR EDUCATORS

We believe that the most powerful and successful learning experiences are forged collaboratively amongst children, teachers and parents.

We see deeply connected relationships between teachers, children and families as central to the highest success of children’s learning. Our Nurturing Knowledge School teaching team is comprised of teachers who are dedicated, experienced and passionate about early childhood education.

Your Classroom Teaching Team

Each classroom is comprised of two lead teachers, an assistant teacher and a dedicated mentor teacher. Our Executive Directors work directly with each teaching team, to support and facilitate each of our programs.

Professional Development

We believe in providing teachers ample planning time to develop curriculum, reflect on goals, create assessment and communicate with colleagues and parents. Our Teaching Teams meet weekly to reflect on children’s growth and build curriculum together. Mentor Teachers and our Education Director provide our teachers professional development opportunities which further develop teaching strategies that fuel their own love of learning.

Parent-Teacher Partnership

We recognize each family as a unique member of our learning community. We appreciate and encourage active parental/family involvement in all of our programs. We consider parents to be our teaching partners and coordinate learning experiences at home and school.
