Professional Development

Yesterday, our school was closed but our teachers were still working hard! Our staff renewed their CPR and First Aid Certification, as well as attended a training about planning with children for purposeful play. Our trainer from Leaps and Bounds Family Services, talked with our staff about extending play and supporting children's ideas. They also had the opportunity to create props for children's planning.

The State of Michigan requires our staff to complete 16 hours of Professional Development each calendar year. Over the past year, our staff has attended many workshops, classes and early childhood conferences. We are proud to say that many of our staff members go above and beyond the required 16 hours.
