In order to improve knowledge of current early childhood education research and to keep skills up to date, educators also participate in annual professional development trainings.

10. What if someone other than me or my spouse/partner has to pick up my child?
In order to protect our children, we require that you inform us with the names of anyone who is allowed to pick up your child. When someone other than a family member will be picking up your child, we require advance notification from you and will verify identification. We ask that you make yourself reachable by cell phone so that you can confirm if we have any questions or concerns.
