Our staff members are chosen on the basis of their academic background, prior teaching experience, expertise in child development, and their personal commitment to working with young children and their families. The staff consists of ten professionals who have either undergraduate and/or masters degrees in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, or a related field. The staff is a cohesive and caring group of professionals who reflect the values and traditions of Winnetka Community Nursery School.
Our staff meet at least once a month to discuss the progress of students, classroom curriculum, current projects, and assessments. All WCNS staff regularly participate in professional development training throughout the year to keep them informed of new information in the fields of child development and early childhood education. Each staff member is also certified in CPR and First Aid. Professional development is a top priority for all of our teachers and directors, and the school community is very supportive of their endeavors.
