Educators

Each classroom has a full time Head Teacher and a Teacher. They are supported by a Teacher Aide who moves from room to room and is familiar with all children. Teachers are infant-child CPR, pediatric first aid, and AED certified. As professionals, we are required to complete a minimum of 13 hours of North Dakota Growing Futures approved continuing education annually.
