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.

January & February

Everyone loves Miss Stephanie! For the past year, she’s been a Lead Teacher at The Children’s Courtyard of West Aurora in Illinois and has proven herself to be a great team player! She always offers to come in early and stay late while devoting her entire efforts to the babies in our Infant Classroom. Miss Stephanie has an associate degree in Early Childhood Education and nine years of experience in the field. Parents rave about how amazing, caring, and attentive she is! One parent in particular, Jessica Moreno, is so grateful to have Miss Stephanie as part of her village. Nearly every day, she expresses how caring, genuine, and loving Miss Stephanie is toward her son. She is the type of teacher we’re proud to have on our team!
