Our Exceptional Educators

teacher and student writing at tableOur goal at The Children’s Courtyard is to build a strong foundation so your child can achieve a bright future. And that’s the same thing we do for our educators. By providing them with training opportunities and career development, we know that they are becoming experts and masters, prepared to provide the most high-quality early education experience possible to our children.

Learning Management System: Staying up-to-date on child development issues and best classroom practices is essential and so our educators receive regular online training.

Child Development Associate Credential (CDA): Our CDA Preparation program (offered in partnership with the Council for Professional Recognition), is available to assist teachers seeking this nationally recognized credential, which makes them certified child experts.

Master Teacher Program: The next step for our teachers after receiving a CDA is to build their experience through our Master Teacher Program. Advanced child development and curriculum courses prepare our teachers to master the early education experience and to train new teachers to provide the best classroom environment they can.

School Education Manager Program: This is where curriculum experts are made. Our School Education Managers (SEMs) understand all aspects of the educational experience at our school so they can be effective coaches and mentors to our educators. This helps to ensure a high quality educational experience for every child.

Teacher Feature

March & April

After just six months, Miss Kayla has shown tremendous growth as a Lead Teacher with our team at The Children’s Courtyard of Lacey North in Washington. She has a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and three years of experience in the field. Though she manages our Preschool Classroom now, she works well with all age groups and always has a smile on her face. Miss Kayla follows an organized plan from day to day, including an excellent system for drop-offs and pick-ups, keeps a structured curriculum, and communicates well with parents through SproutAbout. Miss Kayla says she loves watching the children grow and develop into confident, self-sufficient learners. And we can’t thank her enough for all she does to support our CCY North families!
