All staff at Easton Learning Adventures are licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care (DEEC). Many of us have been with ELAP for years and have extensive knowledge and experience in the field. Though the state requires no degree for preschool teachers, most of our staff has associate, bachelor or master degrees. Our staff consists of directors, lead teachers, teachers, assistant teachers. In addition to the professional staff, the Preschool also provides student teaching and student observation opportunities. Staff orientation is provided to each staff member prior to the start of the school year. With staff handbooks distributed, all policies and procedures are reviewed. Staff training is also provided during the school year to accumulate required EEC credit hours. Each March our program will be closed for one day so our staff may attend an all day training conference. Parents will be notified of this date well in advance. Throughout the year we also welcome volunteers to assist with program events including parties, fundraisers and field trips. It is required that all staff, student teachers and volunteers must complete a CORI form.
