About Our Team

At Growing Place Family Preschool, we believe one of our greatest strengths lies in the talents and skills of our staff. Our teachers are knowledgeable about early childhood education and development, developmentally appropriate practice and preschool curriculum, but most importantly, they are thoughtful, warm, and nurturing.

Our teachers appreciate that each child has unique strengths, interests, needs and learning styles. Teachers actively engage with children in child-directed play and projects within a predictable, stable daily schedule. They are intentional and genuine. The trust that develops between child and teacher provides the support needed for each child to reach their highest potential: it enables them to discover their interests, fully explore their intrinsic curiosity and creativity, and develop self-confidence, independence, and satisfying peer relationships.

The principal qualification for our teachers is the ability and desire to love and respect children unconditionally, to connect and communicate with them authentically, and to develop a relationship with each child that emphasizes that he or she will be heard, seen, and honored.

All Growing Place teachers meet the educational qualifications required for fully qualified early childhood educators. They have studied early childhood education and continue to participate in ongoing training and professional development, deepening their knowledge and growing alongside the children and families they serve.
