Our Staff

The quality of any day care center is a direct reflection of its staff. Munchkinland Child Care recognizes its employees as the center’s most valuable component. The personnel policies reflect the respect felt for staff as professionals and provide a basis for understanding and meeting the needs of both the Center and the families. For this reason we are committed to providing a working environment which exemplifies cooperation and support.

The staff members of Munchkinland Child Care are dedicated to creating a secure, caring, and stimulating learning environment. All staff members are required to obtain certification in infant/child CPR, and First Aid. They attend teacher training throughout the year in the field of Early Childhood Education. Teachers and assistants are required to take 30 additional hours of training every two years. Our teachers exceed the requirements set by the State of New York for qualification and annual training. Our qualified teachers hold Degrees in Early Childhood or in an educationally related field, as well as having years of experience in a childcare setting.

Prior to hiring, each employee must have a criminal record check and fingerprinting. We do not hire individuals convicted of child abuse and/or neglect. We only accept teachers with a commitment to families. In order to optimize you child’s growth and development, we hire teachers who are interested in providing quality care and stimulating environments.

We maintain the highest standards for all our employees – conducting exhaustive background checks and providing them with ongoing opportunities for additional training and education. Munchkinland is proud of the tenure, experience, and cultural diversity that our staff has to offer.
