Staff
|
| All staff have B.A. or AA degrees in Child Development as well as CPR Certification. Though the Child Care and Pre-school field is reputed to have a high occurrence of teacher turn-over, numerous Les Enfants teachers have been with the school for many years. There is a parent-sponsored and school-supported bonus program for rewarding teachers for their seniority, as well as rewards for teachers for continuing Child Development education. |
| Please ask to personally meet the teacher for your child's age group during your tour. They will be happy to greet you and answer any particular questions you may have. Most families develop close relationships with their children's teacher that last beyond their years at Les Enfants. Families continue to return to Les Enfants enrolling thier second or third children. |
| Les Enfants continues to enhance our administration through a full-time staff trainer that assists in the continual training of our staff as well as curriculum development. |
