life Stars’ Team
Our teachers hold an Early Childhood Educator certificate. All have a Criminal Record and a First Aid Certificate. Our childcare focuses on teacher leadership through professional development, team building, and collaborative decision making.
The teachers prepares the environment, then acts as a dynamic link between it and the child. They offer support, encouragement, friendship and guidance but let children learn by themselves.
Our teachers are trained to observe, supervise and use personalized lesson plans for each child. Our teaching team is enthusiastic, dedicated and professional. Each individual shows a strong dedication to the vision of our schools.
