The staff of teachers and assistants is carefully selected for warmth, understanding, and the ability to work for the best interests of children and parents. The ratio of children to teachers is maintained at the highest standards. Teachers create a positive classroom climate by setting limits quietly and fairly respecting the individual needs and differences of every child (see Appendix B). The primary objective is the happy and healthy development of each child. The staff of teachers and assistants is headed by a paid Teacher/Director under the guidance of the parent Board of Directors.
