Each child has only one childhood, and we must get it right the first time. Our educators are early childhood professionals who embrace the criteria for best practice to provide the safe, nurturing environment that every child deserves.
Young children learn best through engaging, hands-on experiences in a predictable environment. Our classrooms encourage children to explore their world through their senses to discover how things work, to express their ideas, and to learn how to solve problems on their own.
Children’s Choice Classics©, our proprietary, literacy-based curriculum, offers age-appropriate activities drawn from both classic and contemporary children's literature. Our classroom educators enhance Children’s Choice Classics© with their own expertise and creativity to design solid learning experiences for each child.
Our approach to early education strengthens critical thinking, builds language and literacy skills, and promotes a healthy self-esteem so that every child faces the world with confidence.
OUR EDUCATORS
Early childhood centers are only as good as the educators in the classroom and those who manage the center. This fact drives us to find only the best educators who have a loving, nurturing nature with young children.
- Children’s Choice educators typically have two- or four-year degrees with successful teaching experience. They must pass a drug test and a national third party background check that includes a national registry search for any offenses against children.
- Educators must complete new employee training which includes CPR and first aid, safety and security, and Children’s Choice policies and procedures.
- Children’s Choice provides a superior pay structure, benefits, and ongoing training to attract the best professionals in our field.
- Our standards for educator performance are based on NAEYC criteria. Our educators are rewarded for excellence and offered a variety of opportunities to meet their career goals.
- Our educators live and teach Children’s Choice Core Values every day: compassion, honesty, integrity, loyalty, dignity, respect, enthusiasm, and niceness. An environment infused with these Core Values encourages good character development and fosters a healthy self-esteem.
