Our Teachers

Our educators have all meet the state requirements of FDLE background screening along courses & passed exams, as well as holds CDA or degrees in and out of the early childhood education field. All of our educators are first aid/CPR, BBP & medication administration certified. Our classrooms have 2 or 3 teachers, exceeding the state’s teacher/child ratio requirement. We maintain staff retention with some educators being employed 5 - 13 years.

Philosophy

Our program uses the Wonder of Learning (WOL) inquiry-based curriculum where our students explore their surroundings inside & outside of the classrooms. We encourage our students to lead the learning experiences with questions, hands-on activities and social-emotional collaborations with their classmates all while having fun discovering the world around them.

Location

Our program is located in a prime area in Jacksonville, FL. We are located near Mayo Clinic and there are many new housing developments being completed. This area is quiet yet has many opportunities where our students can be involved with the community such as visiting senior assist living facilities.
