Nuestros profesores
Our teachers are choosen for their dedication to teaching and for their love of young children. All lead teachers are required to have their Child Development Certificate although many have their Associates, Bachelors and/or Master’s Degrees. Our assistants have at a minimum their 45 hour class taken (45 hours of early childhood education) but many have their CDCs. All staff are CPR, 1st Aid, Blood Bourne Pathogen trained and are all required to have 24 hours of continuing education per year. Administrative staff consists of Arlene Maestas, Assistant Director/FOCUS Designee, Lisa Opperman, Executive Director, and Carol Piskorski, Program Director.
Filosofía
Children learn most thoroughly and joyfully through play. Our motto is “Enrich the day, brighten the future.” Our philosophy is grounded in the developmental sequence of childhood and tempered by our close observation and delight in individual differences. All areas of a young child’s growth (physical, motor, social, language and literacy, emotional, and cognitive) are interrelated and contribute synergistically to help the child reach his or her potential. A strong emotional foundation is the key to acquiring the building blocks of lifelong learning - curiosity, confidence, cooperativeness, the ability to express oneself and listen, the desire to become involved, and self control.
Ubicación
We are located in the Sandia Science & Technology Park off of Eubank & Gibson. Close to Sandia National Laboratories, Kirtland Airforce Base as well as the companies located within the Tech Park as well as families commuting into town from the East Mountain areas.
Acerca de nuestro programa
Our children stay together as a class, with their teachers, for the first three years before moving to preschool then Pre-K. Children are placed in their classes by their date of birth. We do not promote children upon their birthday but rather classes stay together for the full school year. Continuity of care is one of the cornerstones of our program. We use September 1st as our cut off date, just as Albuquerque Public Schools does. Classes are grouped as follows: Infants (at least 6 weeks of age); Young Toddlers (1 as of September 1st); Older Toddlers (2 as of September 1st; Preschool (3 as of September 1st); Pre-K (4 as of September 1st).
