UKids-Guardsman Way

UKids - Guardsman Way is supervised and coordinated by the Program Coordinator. Each classroom is guided by the Curriculum Specialist who works collaboratively with the teachers to develop a developmentally appropriate curriculum based on the children's interests. Within all classrooms there are assistants that work with the teachers to create a warm and positive environment that meets the needs of each child. All staff, substitutes, students, and volunteers go through a state background check and UKids - Guardsman orientation before their first day with the children.

In accordance with our NAEYC standards, teachers have or are working toward a bachelor's degree in a child-related field. Teacher's assistants have various amounts of experience and education related to the development of children or taking college classes in the general area. Staff members are observed and evaluated frequently to ensure a high level of quality interaction. We ensure that there are always plenty of staff members on site that have CPR and First Aid certifications and a Food Handlers Permit. Teachers are required to obtain 20 hours of continuing education annually by attending staff trainings, college courses, conferences, and/or workshops.
