STAFF

At Biederman Educational Centers, we consider the training of our teachers to be a fundamental part of our program.  Our teachers have a variety of qualifications that bring together different strengths and ideas.  Many of our teachers either have or are working on a BACHELOR DEGREE, CHILD DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE DEGREE or COURSES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT.

All of our teachers participate in our extensive EIGHT WEEK TRAINING PROGRAM.
This program is developed to give our teachers experience and knowledge needed in an early childhood setting.   At the end of the eight week session, the teacher receives a training certificate.  In the training program, the teachers:

·         work with a mentor -- watching and learning

·         watch and discuss training tapes on:

o        developing lesson plans

o        providing a safe environment

o        developmental stages of children

·         learn state guidelines and our policies

·         read and discuss articles about different issues pertaining to Early Childhood Education

In addition to our internal training program, the teachers immediately begin courses to attain certificates in CPR and FIRST AID.  They also take classes on communicable diseases and preventing and detecting child abuse.  Each year, our teachers take a minimum of 15 hours of in-service classes.  After they receive 45 hours of training, they receive a state certificate.

At Biederman Educational Centers, we are proud of all of the qualifications our caring staff has to share with you and your children during their early childhood education.
