Our Teachers

The teaching staff at Scottsdale Child Care & Learning Centers are sharp professionals who love working with the children at our schools, as well as devoting themselves to our high standards of quality Arizona childcare. Our teachers design a well-scheduled learning environment with creative activities that aid in their intellectual development. We strive to encourage positive interactions among children and parents.

We at Scottsdale Learning Centers know the value of consistency and excellence when it comes to children, which is why we employ early education professionals instead of just your average daycare workers. All of our teachers are held to a higher standard of early childhood education and are asked to exceed the state teaching requirements for continued training and education. We make this an attainable goal by hosting many continuing education classes at each of our Arizona preschool locations, as well as CPR and first aid certified.
