MARS Early Learning Academy has a wonderful staff working with our children. What do all of these people have in common? They love children and are dedicated to the field of early childhood education. We are passionate about teaching and provide developmentally appropriate opportunities that inspire children to become confident, successful life long learners. From greeting your child with a warm smile each day to providing classroom activities that are the perfect mix of fun and learning, our caring staff goes above and beyond.
Our teachers are certified in First Aid and CPR and attend early childhood conferences and trainings annually to stay current in their field. Each teacher is required to have a criminal background check and annual health screening by a practicing physician or nurse practitioner certifying them to be free from any disability which would prevent them from caring for children.
Our Teaching Goals - Our teaching methods will help your child develop and maintain a positive, healthy self-concept and encourage your child's growth to independence as each child establish themselves away from home. By partnering with families, together we will cultivate your child's growth socially and emotionally as the child learns to interact with their peers.
